Mothra

Went outside today to find this 'little' guy by the garage door. I picked him up via a shim we had lying around and put him where he would safely be away from Diesel, as I was afraid the hyperactive dog would trample the poor thing. Isn't he neat?
He has a very large body, which is covered in brown fluff and his legs remind me of a tarantula, but he only has six of them, and they too are covered in fluff. His antennae are the strangest I've ever seen, in the second picture they make him look like some sort of mutant bunny rabbit with wings. And of course, knowing me, I had to pet him, he is indeed fluffy like a bunny. His wings are neat in that they look like eyes, to scare away predators naturally. All in all a very interesting find for this fine Saturday.
