what's that on the fence?

so we're walking through the yard.. checking out the veggies and i go .. "ew? is that a condom on the fence?" josh gave it a little kick and it bounce back..

and it was this moth!@#

i looked it up, it's a luna moth. they only live 7 days in their adult form.. in those seven days they lay 500-700 eggs!

sooo i'm super lucky i got to see it. i took a ton of pictures.. these don't even scratch the surface. i'm going to try to load them in chronological order so you can see it's wings unfurl. =D
