Just catching up on this (sorry been out alot with hubby's surgery).

What a neat print block and fun thread on this!  All of the forum family never ceases to amaze me with their knowledge and backgrounds!  :)  LOVE THIS FORUM!!!!!

Now, this piece is is very desirable by so many!  Interior decorators, those with zoology/biology interests, butterfly/moth lovers, Printing/litho and historical lovers.... 

I really like it!  Have seen items like this displayed with actual prints made from them in multiple colors.

Also, forgot those were called Underwing Moths.  We have some gorgeous ones (but small) around us!

That is soooooo cool!  I  have always been amazed at how the moths look "furry" towards the facial area!

Now my mind has gone to the long touted Mothman of West Virginia.....(imagine Twilight Zone music)
