Chickweed Geometer Moth

The "geometer" in the name, according to North American Insects and Spiders, comes from the "means of locomotion of the larvae or caterpillars, which lack most of the prolegs of other Lepidopteran caterpillars. Equipped with appendages at both ends of the body, a caterpillar will clasp with its front legs and draw up the hind end, then clasp with the hind end (prolegs) and reach out for a new front attachment, creating a loop, and creating the impression that it is measuring its journey. The caterpillars are accordingly called loopers, spanworms, or inchworms." Comments | Permalink

September Full Moon

Although we didn't get to experience the blood moon of the lunar eclipse on this side of the globe tonight, the Columbia, Russell Springs and Jamestown area got a good glimpse of the full moon illuminating the few clouds that were in its path. Comments | Permalink
