  1. As I'm sure you're aware the cat loves moths, chows them down or at least kills them quite fast. Upon observation, but he doesn't get all the details like you haha.

  2. I often like short works that focus on little details of an object. Depending on where one might pause, there seems to different ways of looking at this moth. There are no punctuation to clue the reader, so one is free to see it as one moth with five speckled dots or one moth with five (others), they being speckled dots lingering atop...etc and so on. Interesting.
