hyalophera cecropia
Another one for National Moth Week. The cecropia moth is North America’s largest native moth, and can be found all across the continent. Females have been documented with a wingspan of five to seven inches (125 – 175 mm) or more. Like other members of the giant silk moth family, the cecropia moth lacks functional mouth parts and a digestive system. Due to this, they survive approximately two weeks. So if you get to see one, rejoice!

It’s National Moth Week! I haven’t yet seen any awesome moths lately, so here’s one from last August … but I did see a tarantula hawk today, so that was pretty cool!
dragonfruit
I’ve had these dragonfruit cuttings jammed in a pot for years. They periodically flower, but never set fruit. I should get them in the ground; they might do better if they could spread out.
egretto rufescens
Three photographers and a sketcher watched the reddish egret pose and dance in the lagoon’s shallows.

cassowary
We’re planning a trip Downunder. I’m practicing my cassowary-sketching, just in case we’re lucky enough to spot one in Far North Queensland. I’d better start practicing kangaroos, snakes and parrots too. I can’t wait to get back there, it’s been three years!
fuchsia buds
Fuchsia is such a weird word. Even though I am good at spelling, I keep thinking it should be ‘fuschia’. In fact, knowing that I find the word tricky, I looked it up before doing this lettering and STILL spelled it wrong. I had to move the letters around in Photoshop to correct it. Doh!
