Description I offer to you a picture of a lovely female Cecropia Moth. She has a wing span of close to 4 or 5 inches.

This is from a warm night in late June of 2008, she is probably spent from mating, laying her eggs, and has found the manmade lights and warm concrete in front of a convinience store to comfort her last few hours.

The humans plodding about here have elected to avoid treading upon her; I must commend them.
By the following morning, little will remain beyond her wings, as a wayward raven, starling, or sparrow will consume her for breakfast. Although saddened by the knowledge of her fate, I do feel glad she has done her Creator's duty, and still could share her remaining beauty with me, my camera, and ultimately you.

I am reviewing my library of pictures. Although I have stated I am just a recent photography enthusiast, I guess I have been wrong.
I have a streak of animal-loving photos that goes way back. Wanna see more? Stick around baby, I got more than even I realized...
Breathing fresh Idaho air has done things to me. The lone/lonely 'yote inside me has howled. We have much to offer. And we want lotsa freinds to share with. And maybe-just maybe; one soul-mate.
