Random Terrain's Tetraternarium

Wow. That's a big moth. I'm glad I don't have those flying around in my house.

Sweet!

 

We have hummingbird moths sometimes, but they don't have the cool camo like that.

 

And usually in the Summer we get besieged by these little moths called "Millers" (technically each is a "Miller's Moth"), who are on a migration and get sidetracked into houses, etc. on their way to pollinate wildflowers in the Rockies and on the Plains...However the last few years I've barely seen any millers...I had maybe 2 all Summer long last year, whereas some years I used to have up to 15 a day for about 2 weeks...

Speak of the Devil and he appears!

 

Miller moths around here are harbingers of Summer, and I just saw my first Miller of the Season! He was on the glass on my sunporch. It's funny because like I said I only had a couple for all of last year...Anyway I snapped a blurry pic before he disappeared...
