We were leaving the store the other day, and the temperature was already racing towards 100. I looked down and spotted a beautiful Luna Moth. The poor little thing was stuck to the asphalt, and it wasn’t going to make it. So I gently picked it up and placed it on my shoulder, and brought it home.

The kiddos were fascinated by the Luna Moth, and wanted to keep it as a pet. I found a spot for it on the neighbor’s creeping myrtle bush, and it looked happy, well happy for a moth.

Dylan asked about the moth all day, and wanted to visit it as often as possible. It flew off though, once it had it’s strength back. He was happy with our little rescue mission.

Holy dina, that thing must be huge! I’ll have to Google it…it really is beautiful.
