For my first entry to this awesome meme, here’s a huge butterfly taken last July 22. My husband saw it in the coconut tree while we are doing the laundry one morning. We are flabbergasted by its size! The one wing itself is bigger than my hand. At night it flew inside the house and rested on the curtain above the sink.

Gorgeous creature! With a great sense of style too. The cloth it landed on is a perfect backdrop to its beauty.
(pssst … it’s a moth, not a butterfly.)

Caroleen: What a great shot and it is beautiful, I think I would have called it a moth but I’m not sure.

This is humungous! I am sure this must be a moth to be flying around inside your home! But moths too can have amazing colour tones and textures and artistic patterns just like this one!
