It's just an ordinary moth, no bigger than a 25 cent coin, resting on the side of our house. But look at those wings! They're like feathers on an exotic bird. I didn't have my camera handy so took this picture with my iPhone!

Your iPhone did a magic job with the moth. It's a delight to see and the pattern just out of this world. Nature is amazing.

De alguna manera se asemejan a las de los pavos reales.

Such intricate color design, spread out for your camera to catch.

While butterflies with their bright, flashy colors get all the attention, moths like this one prove that there is a beautiful elegance in these creatures too.

Son las ovejas negras de las mariposas, aunque también tienen belleza en sus alas. El único problema es que te pueden destrozare la ropa.
Un abrazo.

That is a beautiful moth. I'm delighted to see it just so it isn't in my closet with my wool clothes.
