#moths of Canada

[vandaliatraveler]

Summer has arrived, and with it, the single greatest proliferation of life in Central Appalachia. This is the time of great, ostentatious wildflowers, one more showy and resplendent than the next, each competing with the other for the swarms of pollinators that have emerged to drink from the earth's sweet nectar pots, find their mates, and plant their eggs in the all-too-brief span before their whirring energies have faded into oblivion. At no time do I feel more connected to life's urgent, relentless pulse than in the electric heat of summer; the rich meadows, bogs, streambanks, and hedgerows are my temples and the tiny creatures that come to them to feed and renew their kind are the only intermediaries I need to realize true spiritual peace and joy.

The photos above are from a late afternoon bike ride on Deckers Creek Trail.

Me and my cousin decided to watch a movie about a moth and a butterfly that had to get to Canada and we got into an argument regarding it and so she called an expert that was in the living room.

Checking the front door and walls in the morning to see moths are becoming one of my favourites. All of these are just taken this morning. I spotted at least 3 of each species today. When I get a chance to sit down, I’m definitely going to research about these bad boys, at least learn what they are.

An early Mixcloud mix from me. I think it holds well. Downtempo, chillout, perfect for a Sunday.
