@vonny,
vonny, I like the toitle. Glad to see that no felines are hitching a ride on it. Also glad you got it the size you want. If you're concerned or unsure about the size, why not try "preview" and see what the size is? The bird is a stunner. Thanks mucho.
FBM, The first moth strikes my fancy. Polka dots. Is the caterpillar a pre-moth? The second moth must hang out on trees. It looks woody. The mystery beetle-like creature has an interesting necklace type of thing. My favorite is the katydid. It has personality. Thanks for them all.
