I chased this little wonder around my yard for some time before I got this image. I am sure my neighbors though I was going crazy!I believe it's a type of desert moth.Still checking to see if I can I.D. it.Enjoy! Thomas the Flash

the kids like him, Thomas--argued some about what he really is, but they argue about everything anyway

Rosa I e-mailed the El Paso Zoo asking if they can I.D. this Wonder.I challenge your kids to help me figure out and I.D. this Moth/Butterfly.Don't argue,get to work! ;DI thinking it may be what is call a Marnie Blue butterfly they come in several variations in Color and in wing patterns from what I can tell.

okay, ground rules, ground rules!!! we have to get home first in order to look it up....Thomas no fair. You issued the challenge and then answered before we got a chance to get home and see what you'd done ...but we want you to know....we're waiting.....for next time

Thomas on account of the fact that you're a heck of a phtog, the kids are ready to forgive but my oldest wants me to tell you that he never turns down a challenge, and that he's ready for the next one
