I arrive into my driveway, and an enormous Pandora Sphinx Moth greets me. The moth–as big as my own hand–sits with authority as if sent to deliver a message. We think, at first, a leaf attached itself to our door. But then we see clearly.
Watch carefully. Things are not what they seem.

When you have a Pandora Sphinx Moth welcoming you home, you feel as if you’re in another land with enchanted creatures. Anything can happen here. Look again, and you’ll see wonderful things.
I lean in and observe the velvety wing. What a strange and curious world this is! Even when I’m inside my house (folding laundry, cleaning dishes), I know the moth guards my door. Just remembering that such a beautiful and mysterious insect exists somehow brings delight and wonder to the whole morning. Living with flair means taking some time to observe the strangely beautiful.

Very cool, Heather. As you know, I have a think for insects, as long as there is a camera lens between us. =) They are strangely beautiful.
Very Cool!
