When my mother was young her family would always have a cake when the hagberry was in bloom and so the children called it the cake tree. I keep thinking I should incorporate that into my calendar. Maybe tomorrow is when it finally happens, if I remember.

Moth of the Week
Bird-Cherry Ermine
Yponomeuta evonymella
Tumblr media
Image source
The bird-cherry ermine is a part of the family Yponomeutidae, the ermine moths. It was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. It was originally placed in the genus Phalaena but was later transferred to the genus Yponomeuta, becoming Yponomeuta evonymella. This species’ common name comes from their main food plant: Bird Cherry.
Description This moth has a white thorax, head, and forewings. The forewings have five horizontal lines of small black dots, and a few black dots are also on the back of the thorax. The hindwings are shorter and wider than the forewings and are a beige/light brown color. Both the forewings and hindwings have a fringe on the end however, the forewings’ white fringe is short and only on the outer margin while the hindwings’ brown fringe is all over the hindwings’ edges besides the parts touching the forewings. Additionally the hindwings’ fringe is longer on the bottom of the wing. This moth’s thin and wiry antennae are two thirds the length of the forewing and are usually white.
Wingspan Range: 16 - 25 mm (≈0.63 - 0.98 in)
Diet and Habitat This species’ caterpillars mainly feeds on Bird Cherry (Prunus padus), but they also occasionally feed on cherry (Prunus) or buckthorn (Rhamnus). They are known to sometimes be pests of the bird-cheery because the caterpillars pupate and feed together in web like nests that can cover whole trees. This web keeps them protected and allows them to eat mostly unbothered by other insects and predators. The tree is still likely to survive after this, but may grow less in the following growth season/spring. Adults feed on nectar.
This species can be found in Europe and the northern and eastern parts of Asia. They live in many habitats such as river lowlands, deciduous forests, alluvial forests, stream banks with bushes and trees, gardens, parks, and more. Strangely according to Butterfly Conservation, this moth can be found “often far from the known foodplant.”
Mating This moth is seen in June to September and has only gerarion per year. Females let their eggs on the winter buds of their food plants.
Population sizes fluctuate, but it’s not uncommon for mass outbreaks of caterpillars to happen, which results in defoliated trees.
Predators This species is preyed on by parasitic wasps and seems to have few other predators.
Fun Fact This moth is attracted to light. Additionally when disturbed, this moth can skip away and falls to the ground. Note: this second fact does not currently have a citation on Wikipedia so it may be disproven in the future.

Hagging out May 2023 - Infusions
Tumblr media
Staying extremely topical, this month I developed a small obsession with the hagberry, or Prunus padus. In Sweden, the time between the flowering of the hagberry and the lilac is known as the most beautiful time of the year and this time around I felt it with a passion. Spring was very cool over here, which meant it became more drawn out and this magical time where every meadow looks like my understanding of Paradise extended into a couple of glorious weeks.

This was around the time when @graveyarddirt let us know the theme for this month's Hagging Out, and I knew immediately that I needed to do something with the hagberry flowers. May is always super busy so I was worried I wouldn't have time to collect the flowers before they were gone, but luckily I found a perfect tree on my way home from work (gonna revisit said tree for berries later in the year I hope!) and another one on my way to an appointment - this is why it's good to always carry some kind of receptacle by the way.

I spent two evenings removing blossoms from stems in a blissful state and infused half of them in vinegar for I believe 10-14 days, and the other half in wine for about a week. I think I might have overdone it with the wine as my entire fridge smelled of bitter almonds for a while, but I haven't had occasion to try it yet. I'm figuring if the flavour is too strong I might dilute it with more wine. I haven't tried the vinegar yet either but it's got a wonderful smell and I believe it'll do very well as a way of bottling this beautiful time of year.

The bottle on the left is my third project: bear garlic oil. This I've already used in a couple of salads and it's fantastic. Previous years I've mostly used the bear garlic for pesto and it's delicious but it's gone before you know it. This is an attempt to enjoy it for longer!

I really like Hilja's comfy and elegant vibes. The shawl and sprouting branch are great accessories too, so what's her deal? What's the place she lives in/at like?
(Sorry for taking a billion years to answer this I was Thinking)
Thanks!!! I made her to be very much exactly the type of character i like to draw eheh
She's a ghost of a girl who fell through some cracks in reality, and ended up in the 'center' of the void (as much as it has one).
Because of this, when she died she ended up haunting kind of everything in existence at once, being able to see and manifest in everything and everywhere. This puts a lot of strain on her consciousness so she's a bit aloof
Her home/base of operation is the center of the void where her body still lies. Since time doesn't really pass there, it's just kind of Around perpetually. She doesn't really like looking at it, so she's usually manifesting in several interesting locations to keep her attention off it.
She's technically omnipresent and omniscient, but her gaze is sort of focused around wherever she's appearing in. Her influence is limited to ghostly activities, like moving stuff around, making rooms colder, giving people an ominous feeling of being watched, appearing randomly etc. She can talk but quietly, and hearing her voice tends to give people the chills.
The branches on her head are from the european bird cherry (prunus padus). Their appearance changes with the seasons depending on where she appears in (I like to draw them blooming because it looks pretty)
In relation to my broader anomaly lore, she's actually not anomalous at all. The way she died just Did That to her consciousness. In terms used by scientists in the void, she's an aberration (weird unexplainable stuff that isn't connected to any broader anomaly pattern) like Lilia. They're pals also, Lilia's 54th first name is Hilja :)
