The insects are coming out of hiding, and now with my new ultraviolet lightbulbs I'm getting summer numbers while it's still below 50 outside. These lightbulbs are paying off! I wonder how many insects I'll see once the cherry blossoms begin to bloom and the nights get warmer...
I got two new books for Christmas today.
"The Lives of Moths" by Andrei Sourakov and Rachel Warren Chadd.
And
"Moths, a complete guide to biology and behavior" by David C. Lees and Alberto Zilli.
If you're looking for a gift for a fellow naturalist I'd recommend these.
List of things I have learned so far from reading these (I will take a while to keep updating this)
Terminology like "Macroheterocera", which refers to Lepidopteran superfamilies that have branched off in
evolution as of 90 MYA. (Noctuoidea, Geometroidea , Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea and Drepanoidea).
I get the feeling this fall and maybe into next year will be a very successful time for arachnids. I'm posting this to see if my prediction will be true.
Earlier I walked over to Barker Creek with my Life Straw and I drank from the creek. The water was slightly below room temperature with no taste or aftertaste. I drank from where the water looked clearest which was also where it was flowing too, flowing water is better to drink. I had a bit of a stomach ache for a few minutes afterwards but I'm not sure if thats related. The water was good enough to drink, but I'd rather just walk back to my house for a sweet tea.
I had a dream that I was whale spotting when I found this fishing boat that had poached a small Orca. I followed it to this hole in the wall kind of sushi restaurant, I shot him with a shotgun, and I ate his bitcoin credit card.
Don't poach endangered animals kids, Or I'll eat your cryptocurrency.

Ive had two moths fly away on me in a row before I could get them on camera, I feel like such an idiot. I just want to enjoy my day and now I'm mad.

That feeling when you spend 30 minutes outside and film one Xanthorhoe Defensaria, two Garlic snails,
2 European Earwigs, one Brown Lacewing fly and one Clay colored weevil. Then your phone dies and you loose the video.
I went to bed at 2AM, woke up at 8AM, I vacuumed the car, walked several dogs, pulled rotting pine needles out of my gutter, put moss killer on my roof, and hand cleaned 4 floor mats, and didnt eat dinner until 10PM and this is the ending to my day I get?
Plus I saw some beautiful butterflies :)
