🎵🎵It's a beautiful day...🎵🎵



I was humming that beautiful tune early in the morning and feeling grateful for another day in this universe, when I noticed an unexpected guest perched over a sheet of paper on the kitchen table.

It's been a long time since we met one of its kind, so it was quite exciting. For a moment, it brought me back to the Lil Kingdom where I used to encounter similar creatures almost every day. We don't get to see them often here in DD.

If I remember right, this is a type of Tussock moth. The patterns on its wings are gorgeous, and its legs are so hairy.


We brought it outside so it could see the sunshine. As soon as it was on the ground, it started to flap its wings. It turned out that it was preparing to launch. I was just glad to have captured it on camera...

... And on video too, before it flew away to wherever its wings would take it. I did wish it would meet a friend somewhere and they would multiply so we'd have more of them around here, lol!


I was about to leave when a tiny Ermine moth caught my eye. It was lying upside down on the drum, so I thought it was already lifeless.


I poked it gently, and it didn't move, so I flipped it over, and aha, it was alive! I noticed that one of its antennae was shorter than the other. It may have bumped into something, and it got clipped.


[I think that] like the Tussock, this is harmless too. And yes, I was fascinated and glad to have encountered them today. And so I'll keep singing, 🎵🎵It's a beautiful day ay ay ay...🎵🎵😍

[Hummin' it as we head out for a lil adventure]

Oh the "night butterflies", some people find them creepy and disgusting, actually I find them interesting and they don't look ugly for sure!

Yes :) People have different views on things and such, moth included. But like you, I don't think they're creepy or ugly.

Sorry, I didn't have enough credit to reply.
Of course I'll share. I bought flour in the store that had moth larvae in it. After a while the moths spread all over the pantry. I had to throw away a lot of food, nuts, hazelnuts, flour, sugar. It was terrible. So when I see a moth in my house...

Butterflies are always beautiful in my eyes, and I am always amazed by their beauty.
I must say your photography skills are also good because capturing those little insects is not so easy task.
