White Ermine Moth Brooch Spilosoma lubricipeda

Childhood summernight.

Chunks of fudgesicle melting on your hot tongue.
Pungent citronella-candle smell hovering around the porch, whose railing dripped color from tiny twinkle lights.
Porch light glowing a relaxed dim-yellow in keeping with the after-dinner mood.
Beyond, the garden enveloped in muggy-blue night.

From here they would come, your beloved night butterflies, cloaked in ermine, flitting, resting, fluttering away.

The white ermine moth, Spilosoma lubricipeda, of the family Erebidae : milky white, golden yellow-orange, and black spotted, wearing its royal mantle.

This one is a brooch, to wear your love on your sleeve...lapel, scarf, or collar.
