I did not make this, but I still wanted to share it because the artist, Deb Stabley, did such a beautiful job. And, because it was a very thoughtful Christmas gift from a friend I farm-sit for.
This mug depicts my favorite native moth, the large Tolype (Tolype velleda). It's nothing big, colorful, or flashy, but it's about as cute as an insect can be. And it's super fuzzy!

Farmsit! I've never heard that word used but I can imagine what it would be since my family farms. What kinds of things do you do when farmsitting?

@Insectra Still, it sounds like good fun and therapeutic.
@farmboy2017 And a cheap way to holiday and see new places/ new people. It can also be done internationally. The State Farmers Association just lives up the road from me, a very get with it young fellow with a big wheat and grain farm. Do you want me to contact him about exchange ... he may be Lutheran however!
@FrayedBear that sounds fine! Thanks. No worries. I work in a Baptist world and have a Lutheran preacher in the family.
