Pretty moths from last night: rosy maple moth, lemon plais, furcula, and one of the prominents, but I'm not sure which species. Gotta dig out the Covell's for an ID on that one.

I just watched a 9 plus minute video on isopods. I’m so fascinated by these creatures. A breeder I know carries some of these varieties. I’m king of keeping a few as pets.

The first significant visitor to my lights tonight, the Rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda). This is a male, and though he's much smaller than the Luna moth, he's in the same family--Saturniidae. This little guy is pretty worn, so he's probably ...

When I don't know what to do with myself, I go to Sullivan county. Always neat stuff to be found! I found 4 of the 6 species of snakes I expected to see up at that elevation. The only 2 missing were the Eastern milksnake and the northern ...

Last year I was honored with a visit from a beautiful garden spider! She set herself up at the drain pipe at first, but then moved to display herself on my front porch. She was beautiful! A couple days later she was gone. I suspect she was the ...

Barnswallow nest update: day five of construction... I've been watching these cuties up close for at least a decade now, and this couple is doing something unprecedented (to me). The form of the nest is typical; but the choice of long grasses is ...

Male (top) and female (bottom) Luna moths. There's some variability in , pattern and color, so the best way to tell them apart is by looking at their antennae. The male's are much r and more feathery--to help him follow the scent of a female's ...

I wasn't fast enough to get photos, but I saw a pair of indigo buntings today. They aren't common at all here. Here's a stock photo in place of the one I didn't get.
