This piece was inspired by my want to repurpose as much materials as possible while featuring local flora and fauna. The Sand Verbena Moth is a night pollinator that is an endangered species of the Olympic Peninsula, WA up through the BC coast.

While the ripples of moonlight and reflections of stars shine across the Salish Sea this tiny moth feeds or lays her eggs on the one host plant her species rely on; the Yellow Sand Verbena. Though a small creature, night pollinators are important in the intricate balance of our ecosystem.
