450.11 Moth

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. On the back screen door we have a visitor common to this area, although I did not know it. We live near a river in the dry part of the state, so these creatures do find their way around us.

It’s a Pachysphinx modesta, Big Poplar Sphinx Moth and lives wherever willows and cottonwoods grow. These adult moths don’t eat. Imagine that!

Clinging to the screen 

furry, scalloped winged, large headed 

moth peeks through our door.
