Polyphemous Moth wings

Cathy found these moth wings lying on some thyme in the BYG early Friday morning. Obviously a bird had had a feast. This is pretty common. Also on Friday morning, I was sitting inside the Larose Forest station, and noticed a phoebe plucking one moth after another from the wall and sitting on the railing by the door, to eat them. Finding wings like this gives us an idea of what is around!

What a beauty he/she must have been. Too bad but everything has to eat.
