a rolling stone gathers no moths

first thing this morning i noticed one of our cats, momma, scratching frantically trying to get something out from under the stove .. great .. i haven't recovered from the last creature and here we go with another one

except this was a little different .. obviously the creature was still alive or it wouldn't have taken refuge under the stove

i wondered if i had time to pack and move before it ventures out of its safe hiding space

eventually momma cat gave up trying to retrieve her newest toy and went outside again to play .. the creature decided it was time to make a break for it

to give you some perspective as to its enormity, the glass is 6 1/2 inches tall and the diameter of the rim of the glass is 3 INCHES and it barely covered this killer moth .. and yes, its alive

this creature is now on its way to my daughters science teacher .. there was NO way i was terminating its life nor could i risk letting it free with the outside chance that it might return when i least expect it
i guess its a step up from rats eh?
