Zelda, Otis, and the (ex)Polyphemus Moth

The 2 outdoor cats are proving to be quite the loving pair. Both are neutered, as you might tell from their tipped ears, so not that much loving.

Otis is quite the killer—mostly rats raiding the chicken/goat feed in the garage—but also an occasional bird :( and what I think was a baby rabbit yesterday.

I am pretty sure Otis was not the perp who killed the polyphemus moth. It was most likely one of the mom or pop parents feeding the insatiable baby birds occupying the 4 birdhouses inside the back fence (where I found the fore and hind wings).

Of course I had to Google it to determine what the heck it was other than 2 different moth wings.

What a beauty it must have been!
