Check out this amazing tin I thrifted the other day!
I'm such a sucker for moths, butterflies and other pretty insects. I'm especially a sucker for the Cecropia Moth. They are absolutely gorgeous! Have you ever seen one of these in real life? They are huge and brilliant. When I was little, I had a butterfly and moth collection, and this one was one of my prized specimens.
It doesn't stop there... The tin also included my /other/ favorite moth, the Io. I had one of these in my collection as well. These buggers are fast and almost impossible to catch. (Disclaimer: I don't know if I would collect butterflies and moths now days, unless I found them already dead.) I love the males especially because they have bright yellow wings.
Of course the Monarch Butterfly. Classic.
Buck Moths. So pretty.
The Tiger Moth. I was so excited to find out (from the facts printed on the inside of the tin's lid), that the caterpillar for the Tiger Moth is a Woolly Bear! I love those little guys so much!
Next up, I thought I'd show you another random tin I thrifted a couple months ago.
It was so incredibly retro, I just had to have it. It doesn't really go wtih my kitchen, but that doesn't bother me in the least.
Have you had any good finds lately?
