A Little Friend

We have a big hanging paper lampshade in the front room. It's wide in the middle, but narrow top and bottom, which generally prevents moths this size from getting in. It does not, however, prevent them from braining themselves in the attempt.

This little guy kept landing on me for a rest between attempts. After much dodging about trying to photograph my own shoulder, I persuaded him to sit on my hand instead.

Just a fellow writer dropping by. The moth in your pic looks exactly like the moth that my brother just killed. I guess moths are the same the world over, huh? ;)
