From The Past: May 7, 2008

The saga of the tobacco worms has ended.

This last moth we have, decided it was time to greet the world at 10:30 PM last night.

This morning, around 8:00 AM, he had yet to fly away, so I took this photo:

His feather-like antennae still amaze me.

Upon my return at 10:45AM to see if he had flown away, I was surprised and worried when I saw he was still here. I scooted my finger in front of his spider-like legs, and he walked right up:

We had quite a good discussion as he sat upon my finger and refused to fly away.

After about ten minutes, he flew away. I hope he finds shelter before the rain comes.
