tiptoeing towards the exit

If you've known me awhile, you might have noticed my usage drop precipitously. Well, it's this here. I have only so many years of good health left, and I want to use them running around a lot and not sitting in front of a computer. My eyesight has always been crappy, and screentime makes it worse. So for those two reasons, I'm continuing down the Path of Unplugged Enlightenment.
That said, arthropods and plants still excite me, and I'll continue to post, but casually. On my terms.

Perspective

"Naturalists were the original biologists, and hunters and trappers were the original naturalists. No one knew more about a species -- the wheres, whens, and whys of its movements through the land and the seasons, its relationships with prey and rivals and mates -- than a person whose livelihood depended on that knowledge."
--Mary Roach, in Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, 2021

These photos are so good, I feel like I should put my camera away out of respect.

note to self: come back to these carpet moths

I suspect that several moths in our area were misidentified as of A. neomexicana. Project for a winter day.
