Thanks! It probably was, but I didn't touch it- didn't want to bother the poor critter.

good you dinΒ΄t touched.
The wings could easily break.

Indeed. I always make a point not to touch butterflies and moths because of their delicate wings.

Nope, this was a real moth, and a lovely one at that. I managed to zoom in on it though, which is why it looks so big. The orange thing next to it is an extension cord, which should give some idea of the moth's actual size.

If you do an anthro version, could you send me a link to it? I would love to see your take on an anthro leopard moth!
