Michael and a Moth...

Mom! MOM! come look at this butterfly...Michael that is not a Butterfly but a moth and it is pretty cool...

He had it by the body and not the wings, good job Michael. Yes it was still alive and fluttering all over the ground. I was not having an easy time getting a decent photo.

He gently tried to hold a wing down for me but this moth was frantic. I finally told him let it go and lets see what happens.

I got one decent shot.

It is a Polyphemus moth one of Texas largest Moths.
We thought he was injured and unable to fly but right after I took this photo it finally managed to become airborne and flew off, yeah!
