Kitty Cat Moth

 It’s funny what freaks kids out sometimes!  My daughter was just on her way outside to play when she began to screech with fear.  I ran out to see what was attacking her, and found her staring down at a tiny moth. As she clung to me she explained that it had landed close to her face, and looked just like a tiny kitty cat staring at her. She was terrified of it.  I tried to stifle my laugh as she clung to me with true fear and I tried to soothe her.  That was years ago and every now and then we’ll see the same type of moth and point it out to each other and say, “look there’s a kitty cat moth”  and we laugh. So when this Kitty Cat moth lingered on our kitchen window the other day, I had to photograph it to share with you. (Yikes! This close-up really highlights how dirty my window is!)
