Have you ever truly stopped to look at the beauty of a moth? If you're not awake at the time of complete darkness, you might miss the light shining so bright. 
 
This small collection of moths grew from a place of metaphorical darkness where beauty felt impossible to find. After taking a step back and a few deep breaths, there she was. The light. A beacon of hope. And until you are still enough and open enough, she won't come. But when she does, the beauty you will see can light up that darkness like nothing else can. 
 
Are we still talking about moths?
That's for you to decide. 
 
I present to you: "Lotaphora Admirabilis" A beautiful teal moth commonly found in Siberia, Korea, and Taiwan.
