Thanks to the hard work of my sister and Barb, the hot-and-heavy moths have been identified. Looks like they are Hyalophora columbia, the Columbia silkmoth.
Our new friends are going to be parents in less than two weeks – I hope they’ve decorated the nursery.
Since my sister has all-time all-access to any of my prints anyway, I’m going to award Barb a runner-up print. So please email me your snail mail address and I’ll send it off to you. And since I’m feeling generous, if you send me your address, Jennifer, I’ll also send you one, even though I couldn’t find anything about “Mark & Molly Moths” anywhere. You suckered me by suggesting that your offspring would “love it”. If it turns out she hates it, you’ll have to promise to give it to some other kid with better taste.






Wow! This was the most exciting thing that happened yesterday. It even ranks higher than getting the AC fixed…and you know how hot it is in Maryland right now. :)
