Eighteen of my latest found object assemblages will be on display and (most) for sale at the Oliver Center for the Arts July 28 - September 8, 2017 as part of an exhibition, "Bugs, Birds and Beasts." This one is a beneficial moth.
Cocytius antaeus: Praesidio
$425
Assemblage
Materials:
Dimensions: 15” x 11” x 15”
Praesidio references the Giant Sphinx Moth, whose wing span can reach five to seven inches. Its adult food is primarily flower nectar, and its range includes as far north as Chicago, south to Brazil and Peru. Although the Giant Sphinx is very rare in North America, it is the only insect on the continent with a long enough proboscis to pollinate the similarly rare Ghost Orchid.
