What a surprise when I found this enormous moth (papillon de nuit) on my shutters this morning! It has a wingspan (une envergure) of 6" and is really amazing. Its name paon de nuit in french is very descriptive: paon means peacock.
After research on Internet A FRENCH SITE says the adults don't feed and only live a week. What luck (quelle chance) to find it!

Rusty skip : benne rouillée
By carolweb on Thursday, April 8 2010,
Today I just had to return to the rusty skip to see it again and take more photos; this time I got very near and took some close-ups.
Unbelievable!, No?
It look like a curious creature in the sea being attacked by a smaller one, doesn't it? My title for this one is "Leave me alone!" (Laisse-moi tranquil!)
The skip is blue and the rust shows where the paint has split (éclatée). I love modern,abstract art, and I love blue.
Here is another one:
The title is "Falling fire".
I took a lot of photos but I have to choose the best. Perhaps I will take a photo of the skip so you can see it. Or shall I keep the mystery?
