Much warmer last night and a few more came out to play. Finally, my first muppet-coloured ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTH and a delicate (if slightly battered) SWALLOW-TAILED of 2024 ... and just for good measure, a SPECTACLE with the biggest mohican you've ever seen on a moth hilariously clearing for take-off...

Overhead shot of a large, delicate, flat tissue paper moth in very pale lemon. It looks very delicate. It has a furry head with a bald patch where it is ageing. The forewings are triangular with the apex meeting at the head, so one side of the triangle appears like a top wing edge. The forewings are shorter than the hindwings, so the hindwings poke out very visibly beneath. Each have a point with two black dots so that it resembles a bird face but the effect is to create a very, very, shallow fork of the wing like a swallow's tail. The forewings have two orange brown stripes stretching from one side of the triangular wing to the other, but because the apex is at the head, the stripes look vertical. In between each stripe is a very short stripe of the same colour, barely a third of the length.
Face on shot of a spectacle moth on an egg box hump. Its wings behind are fuzzy as they flap ready for take-off. It has a distinct light brown marking on its darker forehead that resemble a pair of spectacles, above which, centrally is a ginger brown mohican that sticks up. Two antennae stretch horizontally a bit like a wiry moustache. Overall a quirky appearance.

Overhead shot of a large, vivid olive green and bright fuschia pink moth on fingers. It is glider-shaped with wings sloping back from its chunky abdomen. The head is olive green with pink stripes down each side and two close together running down the middle. Its abdomen is also olive green with a single vertical pink stripe down the centre. Its wings are olive green with three distinct pink elements. The first is a short fuschia pink stripe sloping shallowly from each side of the base of its head, extending two-thirds across the wing. The second element is a lighter pink band that stretches in a shallow arc shape from left wing corner to right wing corner breaking only where the abdomen is visible. The third element is the same lighter pink colour, a thicker band that runs along the bottom edge of each wing. The moth has two slightly feathered antennae stretched horizontally from its head

    Happy Saturday!

    Summer is here, and it wants to destroy you.
    Don't let it.

    This heat got me like.... 🥵🔥☀️😩 [Image of Chucky in front of a fire starting to melt]
    Mosquitos watching me slap myself after they've given me paranoia [Images of Tom Cruise smiling/laughing somewhat insanely, overlaid upon each other]
    summer plans (realistic) - do nothing - go nowhere - see no one - yearn - rewatch a show i've seen a billion times - cry - youtube - cry and yearn - yearn and cry - partake in one of my hobbies for about hours then get bored again

    After almost 40 years, this 🏳️‍⚧️ joke, still kicks it!

    ©Playboy 1985

    After years of regular meetings at a local bar, one of a trio of friends stunned his companions by announcing that he was really a woman trapped in a man’s body and had finally decided to have a sex-change operation. Months later, she reappeared at the old haunt, and greeted her friends. Both men congratulated her on her appearance and began asking her about the most painful aspect of the grueling operation. "Lopping off your dick must have been the worst part," one said wincing . "Ummm,” she pondered. “No, not really." "Cutting off your balls, then," decided the other. "No," she said. "That was bad, but not the worst." "What was worse than that?" "Getting my salary cut in half."

    Happy !
    (I still haven't decided if I agree with this theory- I need to watch this again, either way- but I have zero problem with it and it DOES make a lot of sense...)

    Voice recognition mistake of the day: Whenever I try to say "lawyers" dictating on my phone, it comes out "liars." Is that a voice recognition error or not?

    One book cover has the title Something Shady at Sunshine Haven. The cover has a lot of orange, a southwest desert background, and a cityscape behind that. A second book cover has the title Something Deadly on Desert Drive. A tan vase is falling, spilling water, in the foreground. The background is an Arizona scene of a saguaro cactus and mesas, with a lot of green. The author’s name is Kris Bock. Text says: A witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty. Book Reviews: “A great start to a new series.” “a fast-paced book that keeps you thinking.” “grabbed me from the first page to the last.”
