After a Night Out - _TNY_7508
The very strong (and beautiful) feathering of the antennae on the male of the feathered thorn (Colotois pennaria) like this one is what has given it its common name.
This one was taking a nap on the side of our house in the early morning hours after a busy night of trying to locate a suitable wife.
I actually had to restrain myself from touching that patch of hair on its back - it just looked so soft!
