night baby with luna moth
I’ve been a bit obsessed with Luna Moths for a while now. This photo went by in my Flickr photostream last May and it’s been haunting me. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to fit a luna moth image into what I do. I was worried that moths on babies might have a giant ick factor. I got over it.
The moth and the moon are cashmere- so soft.

Baby on a blanket-
I have only seen a Luna Moth once in my life- 30 years ago. I vividly remember the feeling of awe.

Mimi, what a very beautiful baby. No ick here at all- just beauty! Do you remember the big moth in Dr. Doolittle?

Beautiful baby, no problem with the moth. It’s odd, but I just saw one of these huge moths on my screen last night–helps that I have a window right in front of my desk. (BTW, does anyone know what purpose moths found in life before the invention of the light bulb?)
