My daughter and I were power-washing the house on Friday when she came running from around the corner yelling about a moth. Not just any moth. An Atlas moth, known more commonly throughout the world as Mothra.
Most astounding of all, it was going to carry away my child to live among the tiniest women in all creation, sacred beauties of a lost tribe which worships a monstrous creature. And there was nothing I could do.

Check out the snake heads on the tips of the wings! Only one of its many, many powers.

I meant to write and say that the picture of Citrus and the moth is one of the most gorgeous photos I’ve seen. Could be published–eg at the back of the NYTimes travel section.
