ANOTHER DREAM TOY!

[dreamshelf]

Look out, world! It's the majestic Arctia Caja, the Garden Tiger Moth! She is the first moth plush I have ever come across!


Isn't she pretty?


She flashes her striking hind wings to warn potential predators that she is in fact poisonous. How thoughtful!


She is also a finger puppet!


AND a magnet!


She is the only moth in a series of Lepidoptera plushies I came across purely by chance at a National Geographic store that JUST SO HAPPENED to be located at the airport in Malaga! What are the odds?!? It was truly a magical moment and I'm sure my heart skipped a beat when I spotted her.


Her front side is remarkably less detailed than her back. It's a well known fact that I think the fronts of moths are cuter than the backs, but there's no way I'm going to complain because I never thought I'd ever find any kind of moth plush ever. SHE IS PERFECT!


Tiger and the tiger moth.


Careful there! Bugs are fragile!!
