In honor of my friend Jean-Louis, and thanks to my friend Margie (she brought me the critter)... today a small study of a moth. I am not so good at subtle, and this beast was very subtle... but it's good exercise to at least try such things.I've been down most of the day with a nasty headache.
We're having very odd, unsettled weather today and my sinuses feel as though they are going to explode. If it ain't one thing, it's another, eh?
awwwwwwwwwwww. I can't imagine. Hang in there...
ReplyDeleteand thanks for the drawing!
Ooooohhh, very nice. I knew I took it to the right person! I don't know what kind of moth it is -- do you? Hope you're feeling better -- crazy weather lately.

Eyed hawk-moth... maybe?
ReplyDeleteGreat job on capturing the softness of the wings. I only learned recently why moths are 'dusty.' Their scales fall off easily which allows them to simply bounce off spider webs instead of getting stuck. Neat innovation, eh?
Hmmm... well... I don't know what it is, either, ladies. I thought some sort of sphinx moth, and of course the "moth ID" page I found online had a ZILLION similar critters, but nothing just like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the headache sympathies. :-) It lasted a couple of days... whenever we get this crazy stuff that ought to be rain but isn't. I was better today....
