so on Saturday (4.30.2011) Douglas & I were playing outside. we got a bucket & were picking up some Kentucky Coffee Beans from the Kentucky Coffee trees in the back yard. the in the grass, we saw this.
it looked like some weird crazy fussy alien worm 1/2 moth thing. it had tiny mostly red wings toward the top & fussy yellow antennae. honestly it was grossing me out. mostly the fussiness. If you don't know me you should know that I HATE MOTHS. they gross me out sooo bad. they are so disgusting. i get the hibby jibbies {sp?} from them. fussy gross thing plus it flies. ugh!
anyway, I was really confused by this alien grub looking thing & wanted to know what it was. of course, so did Douglas. At that time Papa pulled in in the semi to get his truck & head home. We tracked him down & when we got back we saw this.
the wings appeared to have gotten bigger... then I realized it was a moth coming out of its cocoon!
as grossed out as I was {still am if I think about it} you have to admit it's pretty cool! I mean how many people get to watch that?! Douglas loved it. specially because unlike me, dad isn't afraid, grossed out or allergic to moths.
it was super soft & of course couldn't fly yet. if it had been able to I wouldn't have been there. lol
great experience
What an awesome experience!
