Some pretty butterfly pics and an Atlas moth from the local butterfly exhibit. That was the first Atlas moth I've seen and I couldn't get over how beautiful it was. I didn't realize that they didn't feed and didn't even have fully formed mouth parts. Is that true of all saturniid moths? The Monarch is one of mine. It had eclosed a few hours earlier.
