This week we were out playing, and our landlord/adopted grandpa drove in with a special package. I guess our love of nature must have rubbed off on him. ;) Anyway, he brought us a large moth. We believe it is a tobacco hornworm moth, but umm, it seems that these big moths all look very much alike. He found the moth on a gas pump, and I suspect that is probably not it’s normal habitat. This moth’s host plants are in the night shade family—tomatoes, tobacco, potatoes. It’s wingspan is 3.5 to 4.5 inches.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
