Day 18 Photo- Hair


Day 18 Photo-  HAIR     While on my  walk today I found this Giant Mammoth Moth with a 'Hairy' body.
It is so beautiful. The antennae are so cool.  They look like tiny feathers.  The body is covered in chestnut & white fuzzy hair.   A bird was attacking it so I rescued it.  After they come out of their cocoon the don't eat and have a life span of about 1 week.  (Unless, a bird gets them first)

That is such a cool hairy MOTH! I had no idea they only live for a week!
That creature in the background has some pretty hair too!

I love the moth and am glad you saved it. I wish I could play with you all the special photo Day game.
