Anyone know about large moths & butterflies?
Had a shock this morning when I went to the kitchen widnow and found this .
Its about 5" across and 3" long!
The cats had a go at it overnight but its still alive. It may have been pink but has faded a lot.
Is it from the UK? We've got some orchids growing on the windowsill - could it have been a pupae in the soil?

Horrible nasty things, yuk yuk yuk.
I hate having to have the windows open in summer, all the bugs get in and I swear they follow me 'cos I'm so pale I look like the moon.

The cats must have been chasing it around all night and it looks a bit "moth eaten".
Its now been let loose for those worried about it.

What harm can a moth do to you really?
