So it wouldn't go on the floor.<BR/>Superman Style!!!<BR/>Fly Wings are my favorite because they catch the light in a special way, and there's only two of them, not four, like on most insects. I would not like four wings. It would be too much of a hassle.φhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084713410314465502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-36590468272927504132009-01-20T13:14:00.000-08:002009-01-20T13:14:00.000-08:00As someone who dressed up as a cecropia moth for H...As someone who dressed up as a cecropia moth for Halloween when I was four years old, I definitely need moth wings.<BR/><BR/>--SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-9116695488997479552009-01-18T19:00:00.000-08:002009-01-18T19:00:00.000-08:00I tagged you.The rules are as follows: link to the...I tagged you.<BR/>The rules are as follows: link to the person who tagged you; write down six things that make you happy; post the rules; tag six others and let them know you have done it; tell the person who tagged you when your entry is up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-50619942502982112742009-01-18T18:52:00.000-08:002009-01-18T18:52:00.000-08:00Great post!

I've never adopted a grown dog, mostly because my kiddies are small and I'm scared if they get a dog that doesn't know them, they'll get bitten. I'm not a protective parent. I'm a protective dog owner. My daughter is violent!!<BR/><BR/>And I have to say, I like the dragonfly wings. I like the shape. But mine would be awfully tattered, so hopefully I'd be able to float as well. :)Suzanne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513999796820177367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-60252929511742308232009-01-16T09:15:00.000-08:002009-01-16T09:15:00.000-08:00I was going to say no wings, for the inconvience f...I was going to say no wings, for the inconvience factors you mentioned.
