Cecropia Moths in the yard


Friends,

These gorgeous creatures were photographed outside my house. Cecropia moths are seen here. I read somewhere that the only purpose the adult serves is to mate and lay eggs. That is to say, they cannot even eat and, worse, do not even have an apparatus with which to eat. It looks like I caught them at just the right time. I feel blessed beyond reason that these two creatures chose my 'hotel' (read: Backyard) with which to fulfill their purpose in life. What beautiful, magnificent creatures these are!
