Yesterday, I was thrilled to photograph a “Cecropia Silkmoth” (thanks to coolmomofeight for figuring out what it was!!). The moth was dangling off a small branch on the edge of our yard, in a shrub. I wrote yesterday, when I posted the photos, that I said a prayer that God would give it the best life it could possibly have.
WELL . . . . . . . .
I would say things are going rather well. Wouldn’t you?
Good to be Home 
Wow! That is certainly some answered prayer!
Amazing!
lol
Shanda, God has given you some sort of special present these last few days. Many of us will never see this huge gigantic fantastic moth yet you’ve seen two of them now!! And to witness the miracle of one just emerged from his cocoon to now making some itty bitty baby moths…well I’d say that’s some sort of present. Thanks for sharing!
Going well indeed! Lol
oh my goodness. wow.
LOL that is too funny. Did you notice the male? He is the one with the bigger antenna’s. How AWESOME that God would let you witness such a blessing.
Cecropia Moths are one of the most beautiful moths I have ever seen! As I child I had the privilege of watching one actually “hatch” from the cocoon. Did you know that as the adult moth their only job is to reproduce? They cannot even eat because they have no mouth. How amazing the marvelous creatures God designed for us to enjoy! Things are indeed going well for your moth. What a gift to witness!
Wow! Suz
nice pics
how wonderous is our Father’s creation…and that He blessed you with a way to share it with us
That is just so awesome! Yup, she’s set now. 🙂
Beautiful picture!
That is amazing! I guess those moths don’t waste much time, do they!?
LOL! What did you pray for me? Not more children, I hope! Cherylyn (age 55)
Simply amazing, Shanda. What a comfort it is to see that picture. God cares for the very smallest of creatures…He is surely watching over our needs as well. What a great reminder. Know that I read your blog daily. Today’s made me smile so much, I had to comment. *Penny
this is like so amazing to see!!!!
LOL That sure is some answered prayer!!
That is just so amazing. I think God most certainly heard your prayer. God Bless

Hee! Hee! I’ll say!
The last photo is really cool!
You didn’t know what that was yesterday and now you get to see TWO of them!!! I’d like to see a moth like that around here! I’m still messmerized by their wings!
Those are gorgeous photos, Shanda — even down to the hairs on the antennae! What a wonderful discovery!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing.
thank you for your words of sweetness and most of all the WORD of God — I am restful in my spirit and trusting Him. He has met with me and I very much sense His love through this. though not explainable to my human mind, He sees the bigger picture of course.Blessings to you — oh, and I got your letter! I much enjoyed the article on running — and the pictures from the jC pages as well! Great inspiration as I do photography for a childrens’ catalog and always looking and searching for such inspiration! thank you! 🙂 what fun to get a snail mail letter these days! and so unexpected. The Lord knew the day it should arrive :)alyssa

Amazing photos!
LOL….praise God for mating butterflies. That is a sentence I am sure I’ll never utter again. 🙂
Goodness me! How lovely! Would you believe I heard a sermon this morning that included and illustration about silk worms! “I know what one looks like” I thought. Thanks Shanda Love you to pieces here in SC
