Another luna wing

What monster is it that is tearing the wings off luna moths, hereabouts?

Anyway, this morning I set out to do some guardrail balancing--I figured 7:30 on a Sunday morning would mean no one was about, but maybe it's because it's the Fourth of July weekend, but there were too many cars. I only did a little balancing.

I kept walking, though, and found this luna wing.

I'm wearing a shirt with a pocket, so I put it in my pocket--and it turned out to be a passport to the land of black raspberries. So many, and I hadn't come with anything to put them in--so I folded a grape leaf in half and stitched it with some grass, and voila, a carrying pouch.

Mmmm, berries.

That's incredibly beautiful, but the idea of it being a controlled pattern is disturbing. I wonder what it's supposed to do.

Mmmm, berries.

Lovely summer cornucopia!

Yes! I have them growing in my yard, but I like *finding* them.

I found the last luna wing around the same place. I wonder if they fly into the lights over the supermarket parking lot and get electrocuted….
