It's A Beautiful Day Ay Ay Ay

I was humming that beautiful tune early in the morning and feeling grateful for another day in this universe, when I noticed an unexpected guest perched over a sheet of paper on the kitchen table.

It's been a long time since we met one of its kind, so it was quite exciting. For a moment, it brought me back to the Lil Kingdom where I used to encounter similar creatures almost every day. We don't get to see them often here in DD.

If I remember right, this is a type of Tussock moth. The patterns on its wings are gorgeous, and its legs are so hairy.

We brought it outside so it could see the sunshine. As soon as it was on the ground, it started to flap its wings. It turned out that it was preparing to launch. I was just glad to have captured it on camera...

... And on video too, before it flew away to wherever its wings would take it. I did wish it would meet a friend somewhere and they would multiply so we'd have more of them around here, lol!

I was about to leave when a tiny Ermine moth caught my eye. It was lying upside down on the drum, so I thought it was already lifeless.

I poked it gently, and it didn't move, so I flipped it over, and aha, it was alive! I noticed that one of its antennae was shorter than the other. It may have bumped into something, and it got clipped.

[I think that] like the Tussock, this is harmless too. And yes, I was fascinated and glad to have encountered them today. And so I'll keep singing, 🎵🎵It's a beautiful day ay ay ay...🎵🎵😍
