I used to write a lot of fantasy short stories. This fellow, whose acquaintance I made this morning, certainly inspires me to try my hand again at the genre. He reminds me of a winged Little Prince staring off into the depths of space, dreaming of home. But that’s the romantic in me.
In fact, my alien prince is a petite moth who settled upon a warm window that, unfortunately for it, grew cold in the night.

By morning when I saw it, it rested in the melting condensation.

A few photos and then with the most minimal image manipulation, my buggy friend became an errant prince embarking into the unknown.

I like it. The final image lends itself well to making up stories about it. When I look at it I see a starbird – a great creature, thousands of miles across, soaring on the interstellar winds.
A starbird soaring on interstellar winds. I love that! 😉
Awe…Very nice! Poor insects.
