Mother Nature.
Father Time.
We never know what little gifts the day may hold for us. I am not sure if this is the hairy slug thing, which I had posted about earlier, that has come to age or what...but it was perched upon my shop entry.
Pink, beige, brown, yellow and an airbrushing of white around the exterior edges, this baby was huge and had a main body which appeared to be covered in a soft fur.
Its head had two appendages which looked like feathers and it's back had two eyes which were so detailed it seemed as if they were looking back at me.
When its wings were open, its span was as big as my hand and it looked like it felt like suede.
I have no idea what it is exactly, but I know its truly beautiful.
Ever notice how some of the most beautiful people you've ever met become downright ugly over time, and the plain ones start to seem quite lovely after awhile?
I tried to ID it at the Bug Guide , but discovered that there are over 11, ooo species of butterflies and moths in North America only.
