I'll come back to Nests in a couple of days. In the meantime, another trip to The Tucson Botanical Garden produced some wonderful butterfly photos. I'll start today actually with two moths:
The African Moon Moth is, well, from Africa -- east coast of South Africa. It is a beautiful looking moth with a very long stringy tail; spots that look like eyes; and, well, it looks more like a "kite" than an animal:

The Atlas Moth found in Southeast Asia, is considered the largest moth in the world with a wingspan of 10 inches and wing surface of 62 square inches. In India, they are cultivated for their silk.

Nice pictures!! I'm glad you found the luna moth at the exhibit. Great shots. I was there this past weekend and my lense got all fogged up for a few minutes:) Very steamy inside that building. That's a gorgeous shot of the Atlas Moth!
