We went to Kenn and Jenn's fourth annual Super Bowl party, but I was a bit more preoccupied with something other than the game. Kenn found a "pod" a few months ago and brought it inside.

Three days ago this ginormous moth crawled out of the pod and has taken up residence in their home. They call it "Kenn's moth". I call it Mothra.

Moths gives me the creeps and something that big would have freaked me out.

HOLY CRAP!!!! I was standing at that very sink, twice!! If I had seen that hideous creature, I would have screamed, ran, and then had to sue Kenn for cruelty to party guests.

I was washing a dish when Jenny pointed it out to me - it freaked me out!! I'm just glad it did not flap it's huge wings and decide to start flying.

What a gorgeous polyphemus moth!

no need to worry about it eating your woolens, or chasing you or doing anything nasty at all. These giants are actually part of the silk-moth family.
