The weather here is acting like that as well. Some days are hot and sunny then cold and rainy. Today it's sunny and windy. It's suppose to be getting cold again. I would rather the weather make up its mind and stay warm, but it is time for winter so that is not going to happen.

That sounds quite alarming, I thought it was mostly here because our weather is a desertic one, and tends to be hot, but back in the day we had real winters :) Today is a bit cold, but the temperature will surely rise again later. What a weird winter is this! I guess no winter over here ths year!

I wish we weren't having winter weather at all. The sun is hot, but the wind is cool. It's suppose to get really cold this weekend, but right now the weather is pleasant. It's a shame it can't be like this everyday. I just don't like the cold.

Those moths are so beautiful. They should be upgraded to almost a butterfly.
The colors are stunning, and have a great pattern. ALmost looks like it has eyes on its back.

I am so glad that you were able to take such amazing pictures.

It is one of those rare moments that we are thankful for.
They take your breath away. When you can share that moment and others feel as you did, is double the reward.

Ok, so that was a female variety? I am dumbfounded. Believe me, I had no idea there are males and females. I do not mean to sound ignorant. I skipped that class. lol

Don't worry! Before I found that one I had no idea there was such a huge difference between the male and the female, lol. The males is just out of this world, believe me!

That is indeed a beautiful insect and the wings look like peacock feathers. I should know, I own peacocks :D There's a butterfly specie that looks alike and they visit inn the spring time :) Maybe I'll be able to photograph one next spring.
