Thank you, Daniel.  I love its color and shape.

The moth seems to offer more variations of shapes and colors than the butterflies...  The scientific name of this species seems to be Actias aliena.

The bad inclement weather has it perks, though. Mushrooms pop up everywhere and Ruth collected the catch below in a 30 minute walk. She didn't manage to go more than a few hundred meters before her collecting basket was overflowing.

We spent the evening processing and frying all the tasty stuff.

We have nearly filled our freezer to capacity -- there will be mushroom dishes and side treats throughout the winter season and beyond.

My new Laowa 9mm f/5.6 is an optic for the city My dealer had it on summer sales at a fairly low price and I couldn't resist the temptation. My bad.

Z fc, Laowa 9mm f/5.6 -- the lens is almost impossibly wide on the FX Nikons. 135 (!) degrees.
