I posted this right in the middle of the BIG MOVE......just a few days later, it had to be the same butterfly.....kept coming back while I was potty walking my doggies between sampling the flowers that came up from the seeds I threw out.

Last year, I had an experience with a Luna Moth....didn't know what it was at the time. This year, There have been 3 around my house. Sadly, the first one must have been lunch for the birds as the only thing left was the wings. That same night, I heard fluttering in my garage & there was another huge luna moth buzzing around the light. I quick turned it off so the heat wouldn't hurt it & scooted it out the garage door into the night. Thinking it could find some safety before the birds woke up the next morning. On Monday this week, I encountered another Luna Moth on a chair. It must have been at the end of it's lifespan however as it was barely fluttering. I took it & put it in the lid of a box to protect it from the birds but when I came out a few hours later, it had died. They are the most beautiful Green looking butterfly/moth looking creatures. They like the butterflys are the most friendly here.

It is strange to walk out your front door & be swarmed by butterflys landing all over you. I am so used to swatting at bugs & the feeling of bugs landing on me, I am working on training myself to look first, then swat when you know it's something to swat at.
