This little moth, and his friends, have been hanging out by the studio door since the weather has warmed up. Look at the shape of the wings and the flipped up tail - such inspiring forms.
I wonder what kind of moth they are.
***Updating to add --The UW-Madison extension entomologist says that it is the lettered Sphinx- Deidamia inscripta and that the caterpillars feed on grape. We have lots of wild grape here.

Send the pic to www.whatsthatbug.com and they'll tell you! It takes a few hours to get a response generally but totally worth it. :)
What an amazing "design".
Somehow what I look at only in passing or ignore most of the time ends up like a blur. It's only on close examination that I realize that it is absolutely perfect, so balanced, so purposely designed and precisely engineered! And every single creature and plant in nature is like that! How amazing!
Wow--way cool! For a minute there, I thought it was something you made--a small sculpture mounted to the wall--which would have been cool as well.
Aaaah, nature... The things we humans take for granted.
