Ray's Thought for the Day - Rainfall Update

18.09" + 0.40" = 18.49" through this Day 126 of DY 1.

Also today, Rayetta inidcated that the orange dogs are back. Remember the orange dog on the toothache tree sometimes known as tickle-tongue that the giant swallowtail was ovipositing on a while back. Well, those eggs are now two caterpillars, a little one and a littler one.

Looking at an orange dog, one wonders how orange dogs and pipevine caterpillars could be in the same Family. That seems impossible, to me.

Rayetta also says, uh oh, here's Rayetta now.

Yes Ray. I can spell for myself, thank you very much. Hmmm. I am quite overwhelmed by my busy schedule which now includes identifying all the new skippers I have taken pictures of recently. Identifying skippers from pictures is pretty tough. For one thing, multiple pictures of the same skipper may be required. Anyway, I am very busy identifying skippers from their pictures. That's it.

Thank you Rayetta.

You are welcome, Ray.

Say Rayetta, what was that yellow goo coming out of the littler orange dogs head.

Hmmm. Ray, that is what happens when you eat too much citrus, maybe. You foam at the mouth, especially when the citrus in question is tickle-tongue. Imagine, if you Ray, ate your weight in tickle-tongue at one sitting. Do you think you might extrude yellow foam from most of your orifices?

Yepper, Rayetta, I probably would. Or maybe green foam.

Anyway Ray, we are going to have even more information on those orange dogs anon, if something does not get them.

Mercy, Rayetta. Who'd want to get one?

No telling Ray. No telling what gets orange dogs. But I am quite sure, something does get them. Heck! Lomo eats caterpillars. Lomo could get them.

Mercy!

Yes, mercy, Ray. Mercy for those little and littler orange dogs out there in the wilderness, eating up the tickle-tongue.
