Sagacious says,

I'd have said "more butterfly", Believe.

Believe says,

About yourself?

Sagacious says,

About you, dufus! :-)

marymc says,

I'm with Sag.

notjustagirlintheworld says,

Me too -- with Sag that is, beautiful, Believe.

Believe says,

There's nothing wrong with moths.

Sagacious says,

OK then, you're a beautiful moth.

Believe says,

I like the green Luna moths.

notjustagirlintheworld says,

A rose by any other name...

ctgoods2 says,

a big fan of the winged wonders of the pupal soup. Pretty or hearty - gotta respect the transformation.

butterflyxxx says,

not with those wings little pony! I am a moth without my makeup.

Believe says,

My pony profile pic is actually a horse. A miniature horse that belongs to my littlest girl who is only one year old, finishing his growing at approximately 24 inches tall. The pic was his Halloween costume; he dressed up as a pegusus.

Level1 says,

Some moths are very beautiful.

Steve__Anthony says,

Excellent posting.

Always think of butterflies as elusive -- while moths are always confronting --- tasks,themselves or raw naked lights.

Believe says,

Thanks, Steve! I think you captured what I meant. This was in no way a self depreciating post.

Bevvie says,

I have always been curious about that profile picture....

Believe says,

Horse is one, girl is seven. Really wish I could edit comments.

NoNickname1 says,

Nothin' wrong with the inbetween, (cocoon and butterfly). I agree with Steve, moths are definitely more assertive. BTW- I wear a charm that say, Believe.

MandM12 says,

I like to think of myself as a moth. While butterflies are bold and bright, I prefer to sink more into the shadows.

Believe says,

Sixwordstudy: I wear a charm that says believe too!
Mandm: I like to think that I might not get the press like butterflies do, but I am searching for the light!

butterflyxxx says,

I love the symbolism of butterflies - beauty emerging from transformation but moths have their own symbolism too - flying boldly toward the light. I love watching insects and there are some very large moths here, also some small bright yellow bagmoths with odd cocoons with sticks glued onto them. Also I think your horse is beautiful.
