The meme of the month is without a doubt the moth meme.
You've likely used the phrase "like a moth to a flame" at some point during your life, and there's a reason people associate those two things — moths are attracted to light. It only makes sense that someone would combine these two things — and now…
Several weeks ago I featured a Monarch butterfly dress. The ?cape pictured in the drawing above appears to be more moth-like. I presume it was designed to be worn while flitting about under the nighttime street lights of Paris. Found at Vintage Blog, where there's lots of interesting photos and artwork.

My Crisis are Blessing - Andrea Galad
Or newest "pet" Puppet on my finger. She's a female silkworm moth. My mother who is a teacher grew silkworms in her class, and they all became moths, mated, laid their eggs then died. This one however didn't find a partner, so she came home with us. If they don't mate they live for about 2 weeks, although my mom has had some live for almost a month in the past. If they do mate they die the next day. They don't eat, don't fly.... a rather pitiful living being. They are bred in captivity so much to produce silk (the worms) that they lost the ability to fly and survive in the wild.
