I remember when my mom was singing at a night club. I was 6 she sang me to sleep and started her night set. I awoke from the sleep and got scared. I was along. Curiosity had me open the door. I went to the stairs and looked down. On the giant floor rug I saw many giant moths. The sat time I was driving in Utah. I was wearing shorts. So e how a giant moth got in the car wile driving at night the moth brushed against my leg and made a sound. I almost drove off the road. I stopped and jumped out the car. The moth did the same the wing San was almost a foot

wow, who would have thought that europe even had such colorful, almost tropical looking moths! an eye-opening image for me, who first had to google the creature to start believing in pink elephants ; )) and to be convinced that he really is "of this world"! so funny, how he seems to be throwing us a coy glance from behind the stick he's clinging to for support! greetings, sabine.
