Thank you for the species correction, Leana! I have a bit of updating to do now! ;)

Me too! And the wings reminded me of chocolate... Mmm, yummy! (Don't worry, I was NOT tempted to eat him!!) :-)

It looks very large! I love the fuzz on it's head and neck! :D

Or is this an ermine moth...? Anyone recognize him at all?
