Of Moths

Ido bought me a fancy Micro lens for the fancy camera he gave me. Now I run around like a crazy lady with a cyborg camera eye.

The best part- In the grass a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to find these mating Cerisy's Sphinx, also called One Eyed Sphinx. These two started mating the previous night and remained in copula until the evening of the next day. Incredible stamina! The moth in focus is the male. Pairing is especially important to the female because she usually does not fly until after mating.
