But alas, it got trapped in my car
Although I am sad it expired
The photography was easier, by far.
(I was walking out to the mailbox, and when I passed my car, I saw what appeared to be a weird leaf hanging out of my hatch. Just in case, I went inside and grabbed my camera. It was in fact this crazy-large moth, but alas, he was expired. But I didn't want it to die in vain so I photographed him to include here on the blog.)
