THIS SITE IS INTERESTING. Note from Ouida on this Poodle moth from the forests of Venezuela: Although I didnt like nor do I care for the word pied now, I did and do like the sentiment in the poem Pied Beauty. by Gerald Manley Hopkins (1877). It speaks of Gods grandeur. This image reminds me of the amazing sizes, shapes, and colors of taxidermy-ed birds we viewed in display cases in the mid-1950s at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
