| July 2004 - These moths are undergoing a population
explosion here near Chicago. They fly up from the underbrush and
grass at seemingly every step of mine. They are, however,
extremely wary and difficult to approach. Try following these
guys around for hours at ninety + degrees - whew! June 2009 - Apparently, a population explosion is not unusual. These huge, conspicuous moths are again everywhere. |
