Gross Nature

On Sunday on my way out to my car, I saw an interesting sight.

Two Polyphemus moths were mating on my car wheel.

Not very romantic guys.

Driver's back tire.

Now if you look closely, you will see two moths - the full one and then the folded up one perpendicular to the other. Shiver.

Here is a better picture.

I remember when I was little how I liked moths so much because I thought they were a unpopular version of a butterfly. And how they were beautiful in their own right.

Now I just think they're gross. And shouldn't be attached to my car wheel.

Yak.

I did call Darin out and he interrupted/rescued the moths from my tire and they are alive and well. And hopefully found a more private place to do there thing.
