Blue Fairy Moth and a Chewbacca Cocoon


I snapped this shy little spider back in March, building her web near the kitchen door with the buildup of one of the last storms of the season in the background. 






If Pinocchio's blue fairy were a moth, I think she would look like this specimen who was hanging out on the kitchen cupboard door the other night.






For the first time since I've been in Kitwe, a tall tree tucked away by the servants' quarters popped out some fiery blooms. I really had to zoom in on this as they are a good few metres above ground.






If I hadn't been bored and rearranging things on the patio, I would never have noticed this odd, hairy cocoon hidden behind a pot plant that was languishing for want of sunlight. What on earth is going to emerge from it?
