It's been a while since my last post. My daughter is now 3 1/2 months old. Enough said :-)
This little beastie was sitting on a cupboard handle in the kitchen. Its markings almost look like acrylic paint. It is a Green Blotched Moth (
Cosmodes elegans - ID -
Ozanimals.com). We don't have any Lobelia or Verbena mentioned on the Ozanimals site so it must have come from a neighbouring yard.
This very large moth (probably a Hawk Moth) had the misfortune to be discovered by our cats and is thus looking rather battered. I kindly relieved its suffering by feeding it to our chooks. At least they don't play with their food!
I know it's not really an expression but the moth does look pissed off.
Another small moth attracted to the light in the bathroom. Its colouring is of course brighter but I haven't learnt how to adjust for the necessary flash.
One more moth shot. There were of course many more visitors but I didn't always have a camera nearby and charged. There was a magnificient praying mantis on the front door frame last night but the camera battery was flat!
