Re: Moth-
Right on, shobana. This moth, with it`s bright colours advertises that it is distasteful to birds and others.
It is one of the few moths to gad about with impunity during day light. (Jacobs coat moth.)

I understand this is about a moth, but it kind of sounds like a lady I once knew, and that is the metaphor I'm taking from it...hope you don't mind.
