Yumi Okita is a talented artist living in North Carolina. She creates these beautiful embroideries that depict giant, fuzzy moths, with beautiful realism and color. Her creations are often extremely detailed, including the fur, eyes, legs, antennae and fine wing patterns of the real thing.

You can see more of these at her Etsy site.
