Ray's Rainfall Update
20.34" + .16" = 20.50" on this day, 134 of DY 1. The new reading, .16" is just a guess. There was a black swallowtail caterpillar and two other bugs in the gauge so I had to guess before I poured them all out.
The black swallowtail caterpillars generally stay on the Spermolepis inermis, a short plant. But the one that got in the gauge must have climbed up the mustang grape five or six feet high. Then it must have dove off the grape vine into the gauge for a little swim. I admire that kind of eccentric behavior.
