:heart: Was arriving at work and about to walk into the office door when I saw this little beauty resting by our door. Couldn't resist taking some pictures so I could share him with all of you :) Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! Hello, Mr. Luna Moth

    I think I would have mistaken it for a butterfly. I have never heard or seen one before. Is it that bright green in person?

    Yep! At first glance I thought it was a leaf...then a butterfly... then once I saw it's body, I realized what it was.

    I would have ran screaming the other way! Moths and butterflies scare the living bejesus out of me!

    I had one of them outside my house. Thought it was a leaf at first sitting on the trash can and ended up being one of those except brown.

    I am usually not a fan of moths - at least not the pesky ones that hang out by the light next to your door and attack you when you're trying to get in your house at night- but this one was unlike any i'd ever seen before. As for butterflies- I LOVE THEM!

    I can't handle either of them, there is just something really sinister about the way they flit around. Creeps me out (I know I'm a weirdo and I have come to terms with it!!)

    I probably wouldnt' have thought that one was very pretty lol - i'll have to google it

    Googled it- take it back! That one is pretty too. They're so neat.
