Thread: Moth :)

  1. #1

    Default Moth :)

    This little guy (or gal?) was hanging out with us in the shed one evening. I think it's a giant leopard moth. I guess if I were really hungry, this wouldn't be one to eat. (CS has me thinking about everything now ----> "hmmm... what good can it do me, in terms of surviving"? lol ) They can secrete droplets from their glands to make the birds get a bad taste in their mouth. I read that even as a caterpillar, their bristles can break off, causing a rash if you touch it. Interesting.

    I've noticed these critters - caterpillars, centipedes, worms, etc - more lately because I have a 6 year old bringing them to me now in containers & jars. "Look! Look at this worm!" Yeah... I see the worm & nooooo I don't want to hold it!

    Just wanted to share a photo of the night shift shop manager:

    yeah, I think I've decided that if I need to get a message to him quickly, my best bet is to post it on this site. LOL

    (So don't mind the post that reads "honey, please pick up some drinks on the way home". haha .... I'm just having fun, giving him a hard time. I guess I'd better stop or else he will wish he didn't ask me to join... lol)

    Cool pic. That's the first Leopard Moth I've seen, I think.

    Cool Hmmm.....

    Don't think I'd eat it, gutting it would be tricky. However it might make good fish bait.
