I have made a bear with wings again, as you can see. But this time it is a "Little moth"! His wings should resemble those of a Saturnia pavonia (L., 1758). It is approx. 19 cm (7.48") tall (without his antennae) and his wing-span is 16 cm (6,30"). As the bodies of moths are often very furry, I chose a curly black long pile mohair for this bruin. His legs are designed to help him when he is flying, so he can not stand very well. He has got very long stitched claws, sculpted and shaded hands and face and he has got a stitched nose featuring a proboscis! His antennae are made of wire, perle nose thread and pom-poms. His wings consist of felt and printed cotton fabric. They are wired so that he can move them. Because of the steel pellets in his belly and feet he weighs 157 g.
"Little moth" needs a caring home, where he can fly at night. He always tries to be very quiet when you sleep at night and won't wake you up. In the evening, he loves to accompany you and have dinner with you. He is keen on Barbecues, when everyone sits in the garden and many stay up late.
"Little moth" will surely have many Barbecues with his new mum, Jacqui. He now lives in Pennsylvania, USA!
