Looks fantastic!
I'm sure it can take a few hours for the wings to get blood pumping round them and de-crinkle. I guess the bigger the moth, the longer it could take!

that's stunning!!

I had a look at the website, with Mason next to me... and he just said No Chance... you're not having a moth!!!

he hates them too... he doesn't trust anything that crashes in to you and turns to dust!
