What was it?

[Lakitu]

I've just seen something that was rather cute, but don't know what it was.

It's a moth of some sort, it has white wings, which were closed but not just laying down its back, they looked like they were sealed together. The upper half of its body was poking out and is yellow and furry and it has orange legs.

What could it have been, please?

Sorry I meant 'female' and perhaps Michael is Michelle!

[Lakitu]

That's the one!!

It's a girl! Awww

Isn't she so pretty!

[Lakitu]

I was thinking Michaela LOL

[LoftyLottie]

That last one was a boy! But the write up says the females are yellow! Bit confusing.

[LoftyLottie]

Still want to see your picture. I bet it's only just emerged from the crysallis stage (sp)

Chuck is in receipt of the pics, one of them is a little bit fuzzy but you can see her colours anyway.

I haven't thought much about how moths and butterflys are 'born' since I was a kid when I would watch the progress. Surely if she was so young, she would still be by the trees and not residing on a wall?

It's not the clearest pic, but sure does look strange!

[ChuckFickens]

oh was there more than one.... BRB with the other :)

[Lakitu]

I sent 2, Chuck!

I can't even look at my own pics :( LMAO!

[LoftyLottie]

Ah, how sweet - a chick with moth wings!!

[Lakitu]

It really is, is it!

Cute wee thing.

[LoftyLottie]

Definitely a female Ghost Swift Moth. Well that was a good nature lesson. I really should be doing something other than researching moths.

[Lakitu]

[ChuckFickens]

Ta muchly :)

[Lakitu]

No probs and you're welcome :)

[leelapops]

Well, glad that is cleared up! Haha...Give Michaela a tickle on the wings from me :)

I had another look at her, she's moved slightly and it definately looks like there are other wings under the white, is it possible she's still coming out of the cocoon??
