My World - Buggy

As I was cutting the grass, I spotted something orange ahead. So I stopped to investigate. It did not move so I left it alone and went about finishing the grass (skipping a small spot). The next morning it was still there so I picked it it up to investigate (and take more pictures). It was a Regal moth with a wing span of about 4 inches.

I had to back away from the computer monitor.
I don't do bugs....not at all.
And those are life-like photographs! May I kindly say, "Yuck!" (Actually, an off-handed compliment to your photography skills!)
Hugs,
Jackie
