Moth photos

On the heels of last night’s lightning storm, we had a moth on our deck this morning.

He still hasn’t flown away. I am thinking maybe he’d be good for the diet. How many calories in a moth anyway?

Update: Turns out this is a form of cecropia moth.

    HAHA! I don’t know but maybe a pinch of protein.
    Couldn’t hurt if you want a snack!
    Then you won’t feel bad about it.
    I’m snacking on crackers. They’re plain, not salty and just BLAH.
    Damn… I could sure go for an ice cream right now…
    Must control myself. I Must.

    Ana: Eliza and I got the 100 calorie bags of doritos, cheetos, and some chocolate chip cookies. They taste great, but if you only eat 1 bag it is only 100 calories.

    Colin: Or you could eat “no” bags and eat fruit instead. I would not advise eating that thing. It would be powdery and probably get stuck in your mouth (*blech*).

    Zach, you’ve never dieted have you? :)

    As for the cecropia moth, I’m sure it would be better fried, but with your diet and all…

    That thing looks like an alien!

  7. Daniel Nicolas Says:

    Nicole is right. It’d be better fried. I had fried crickets once…

    [...] Another moth and not to be confused with the huge moth that was on our porch in May of this year. [...]

    What kind of moth is that? ^__^
    It has a very lovely coloration.

    Does anyone know what kind of moth that is?
