Poinciana Wind Hanger

Poinciana Wind Catcher. 5 Poinciana pods, 5 pumice pieces, 40 leopard tree pods, 6 pipi shells - hangs 120cm long. Let me know if any of your readers have ideas for native Queensland dried plant parts that make a soothing sound when pushed about by the winds:)

Wind Catchers

Now these 'chimes' dont tinkle so I call them Wind catchers...clever huh!?

These natural catchers are made with backyard creek wood and leopard tree seeds, and stilt root mangroves, blackbean pods and shells from Cairns. Another idea for workshops that leads to discussions on the beauty of our jam-packed, natural environment up here in the Far North.

Hercules Moth - Coscinocera hercules - how nature inspires us!

This stunning adult male Hercules moth was found on my back patio while working. What a coat to drag around...and all on an empty stomach!

Queensland Museum:

Females of the Hercules Moth have a wingspan of up to 27cm and the largest wing area of any moth in the world. Males have the rear corners of the hindwings stretched into long tails. Hercules Moths occur in New Guinea and tropical Queensland. Adult moths do not feed and are short-lived.
Their spectacular pale-blue caterpillars can grow to a length of 12 cm and a weight of 29 g. The caterpillars feed on leaves of several rainforest trees but prefer those of the Bleeding Heart tree, Omalanthus nutans. At the rear end they have 2 large, false eyes to confuse potential attackers.
