Milly the moth.
















"I'm Milly the Moth,
And I fly at night.
To call me a butterfly,
Would not be right.
If you open the window,
And put on the light,
I might come and see you,
One fine summer's night."

-Porter G

  7. Beautiful capture...

    I had this thing for moths during my 11th standard, and I'd sit observing them from that || close for two hours and sometimes three.. They're so calm if you're calm..

    That, is so true.
    Ive always found butterflies annoying. charming at times, maybe when they flutter
    but then
    a moth
    is so much more beautiful
    this particular one sat next to a light bulb for a whole evening.

    thank you :)
