TEENY TINY DRAGON?

Found this strange creature perched on the side of the house. I was standing on the porch looking up at it. It looked like it was getting ready to pounce on me. This is actually a Moth called a Spotted Apatelodes. My tongue doesn't work that way so I'll just call it a Dragon Moth!

Lilly, my Welch Corgi, takes the squeekers out of all her toys! One example.
