The kids were outside in the backyard yesterday when they managed to catch this moth (at least I think it is a moth -- we're not sure exactly). A neighbor boy was over in the yard playing with them and they were bug hunting. They were pretty excited! It is quite big and has a pretty camoflauge pattern on its green wings.
They kept it in the bug jar for awhile (they named it "Abby") and decided to let it go. Only it didn't want to go anywhere, so they got it to perch on a stick they had. (I wonder if they somehow hurt it or damaged its wings.) Finally it disappeared somewhere.
This afternoon Courtney was outside again and saw the same moth, so she caught it again! She let it go after a little while and it flew away pretty quickly this time!
