First hawkmoth of the year! Elephant hawkmoth which feeds on willow-herbs/fireweeds (UK/US)
The diversity of species, and overall numbers of moths visiting my light trap this year is so much smaller this year vs last. Gonna guess that's bc of the havoc the heatwave and drought is wreaking on the local plant life that insects rely on. Next week we're on drought water restrictions here. I've been taking a watering can can to the wildflower areas, and I've seen neighbours watering street trees that are looking crispy, but there's only so much any of us can do. 😭

I am a cryptid
I may inspire fright
Could fly at odd times
Go stare at some light.
Some think I am freaky
Downright a mess
It doesn't bother me
I feel no distress.
For though I am feared
By those who like normalcy
I feel very comforted
That human "freaks" do adore me :)
Poem found in mothman's diary. Estimated to be around the time cryptids caught more positive attention. Our question is, how did he access the internet to find his fans?

Day 10: The moths are getting settled in their new leaves. One thing I have noticed about these level two moths, is that they poop A LOT. I have two theories. One, is that they are pooping the same amount, its just bigger...packages... two, is that they are pooping more because they are eating more. Honestly i dont know if the amount of food they eat stays proportional to their body weight or not? if i really wanted to be as science-y as i feel, i would weigh out their droppings. who knows maybe im kooky enough to try it.

Got a visit from this beautiful hook-tip, Laspeyria flexula, a new one for my garden <3
The larvae feed on lichens on tree bark, and are beautifully camouflaged (here’s a pic)
