Oh no, it's almost February! (Funfact: Until late last night I thought today WAS February. Even though I was staring at a February calendar all day on Sunday. Also, you only have to type or read February four times before it no longer looks like a real word. Pfffft. Febooary

This is a truly lovely moth. Thank you for the calendar. I shall save one of the desktop versions. <3

Thank you! :)

I'm really enjoying this project if only because I'm discovering so many beautiful moth species I hadn't heard of before. I'm trying to find the scientific name for this one: http://pascalepetit.blogspot.com/2009/12/seasonal-poem-hieroglyph-moth-from.html

The blog post says that it's a tropical moth, so probably not North American. I tried looking up Heiroglyph moths, but that gave me these: http://www.cirrusimage.com/Lynette/hieroglyphic_moth_1_med.jpg

Which are also lovely, but clearly not the same!

Thank you! :)
Moths are the perfect mix of line and color - I'm really enjoying this project. ^^

It could be a pinup! Check out that sexy thorax!
