Crystal and I were enjoying an evening on our front porch, reading and watching the puppies tear up our sparse grass. As we were sitting there, I began to notice the sheer number of moths that were perched around my door and decided to take a few pictures. They are pretty cool!
Although the above moths were pretty cool, the ones below were my favorite. One is a Luna Moth, which is a giant in the moth world. Unfortunately, they are pretty rare finds as their hatching season is in June to July and they only live for up to 7 days. Its incredible that something so amazing will live so short a time. The second picture is a moth that I always called a ‘scorpion moth.’ I am really not sure what its real name is, but you can see why I named it so.
Finally, two more critters to round up the list. It seems like I am in the middle of snake heaven. As it turns out, this one is, without a doubt, a dead baby copperhead. I found it smashed under some of the cross ties in my yard. Since copperheads give live birth, it is more than a little disconcerting that I keep finding baby snakes all over the place. I hope that I don’t manage to stroll across mama.
Of course, I had to add the obligatory puppy picture to finish the list.
