Blue Snow Garden

This looks likely to be a moth… can someone help me to identify this?

Actual story: Last year, a few boys found some pupae of the Oleander Hawk Moths and passed them to me. I didn’t know where to keep them, so I placed them in my usual container. I didn’t monitor them for a few days, and the next thing I knew the moths were out. Unfortunately, their wings were brittle and deformed when they emerged. Although handicapped for life, they were big and really beautiful…

Advice to Cyren and his caterpillar: Always keep them in the soil, where its cool and damp!

Last weekend, I went on a trip to Pandora. Apart from the mining area which are now destroyed by humans, everywhere else was just so natural and beautiful, with their lush primary forests. That’s a photo I took of their natural floating structures or giant rocks that defy gravity.

I had also learn how to speak Na’vi, the language of the indigeneous race (the Na’vi) on the planet.

Here are some words:

Tree n. – utral ['u.t?al]
Star n. – tanhì [tan.'h?]
Hunt v. – taron ['ta.?on]

You can learn to speak Na’vi here.

I’ll post more photos later.

I also learnt a few good things that we could all learn from the Na’vis :

1. They love, cherish and protect their Mother Nature.
2. They sacrifice to live in harmony with all other living beings.
3. They are not greedy and don’t take more than what is needed.
4. They know everything is impermanent and everything must be returned.
5. They don’t chop down trees and destroy the homes of other living beings.

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, “The Sensitive Plant,” 1820

Think of recycling. Consider reusing. Use less, throw away less.
