Ceanothus is blooming up and down the coast, so it's no surprise that beautiful, big Ceanothus Silkmoths should appear. Frances Anderson photographed one outside Action Network in Gualala.
Willie Brown also photographed one.
I've wondered if Nike got their idea for their swoosh from Ceanothus Moths!
One of the most interesting and unusual photos of these moths was taken by Jerry Rudy in Timber Cove. His photo shows a female laying her eggs on a stem.
Thanks to Frances, Willie, and Jerry for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
