Polyphemus Moth




Even though it's gosh darn hot again, I was able to get in a little yard work today. September has such fickle weather in the southeast. But first I found this lovely Polyphemus Moth (male; Antheraea polyemus) soon after emerging from it's cocoon. It was early morn as he spread his wings slowly on the little green fence next to our carport, then took off to be a part of the landscape and fulfill his destiny.

Thank you "Poly" for letting me witness this miracle of nature, even if only for a moment. ♥ ∞
