What A Lovely Creature

By
Real Estate Agent with BCR Realtors 262359

I actualy took the day off today and stayed at home and worked in the garden all day. Later in the afternoon my wife called across the yard and said " You just gotta come look at this!"

She found this amazing moth in one of our flowerbeds. We have seen a lot of wonderful wildlife here, but never one of these!. Just more proof that there is a Creator.  This work of art wasn't an accident! To give you an idea of it's size that is my wife's hand with a gardening glove holding the moth.

Very interesting.  I used to spend more time looking closely at nature.  I am facinated when I take the time.  When I hit the desert of California I sometimes will look closely at the flowers, cactus etc...there's much to behold if one takes the time.  Thanks for reminding of this.

I guess it's true what they say that things are bigger in Texas.  This looks gigantic.

I've seen two of these at my house, scarred me to death, it looked like a bat.  I've never seen such a butterfly or whatever it is, that looks like it has eyes on it's wings.
