Moths in the Men’s Room

Karl the Tracker Druid sometimes gives Ray the low down on some of his more interesting cases or missions. Karl tells Ray. Then Ray tells Crumby. Ray and Crumby are bosom companions.

So this one time Karl gets a visit from a beautiful young lady. This particular young lady is distraught. Yes. Mighty distraught. She suspects her beloved younger brother is sneaking off at night. Yes. He is sneaking off. Plus, the probable purpose behind this weasel little brother’s sneaking off may be homosexual trysts. Yes. She fears her younger brother may be ruining his chance of splitting their inheritance.

Naturally, because the young lady is tearful, beautiful and a paying customer, Karl takes the job. Karl takes the job, even though, these type jobs bore Karl a little, because they are so easy. But these are also just the kind of cases that are Karl’s bread and butter.

Sure enough, Karl easily tracks the lad to a well known city park restroom. And there, the particular lad Karl is tracking meets up with another similarly inclined lad, youth, or young man.

Uh oh. Karl needs to get ready in a hurry. He needs to make sure all his equipment is ready. Like he needs to switch on his camera and sneak on over to the park restroom.

But then, to Karl’s surprise, the twain youthful iconoclasts don’t head into the actual restroom. No. Instead, those young fools seem fixated on a well-lit wall of the restroom exterior. What are they doing?

Karls’s binocular observation reveals they are catching bugs. Hour after hour goes by. Karl wearies of his lonely task or job, watching those young men catch all the bugs that come to the outdoor security lighting at the restroom. Karl falls into a deep slumber. When Karl finally awakes, day has broke and the boys are gone. Mercy!

But on the sunny side, Karl is on the clock. Three more lonely nights, for a total of four lonely nights, Karl tracks this boy to the park restroom. On the fourth night though Karl is plenty speeded up so there’s no chance he can fall asleep again like he did the other three times.

Finally, after what seems like maybe a billion years to Karl, because he is so speeded up, the subject of Karl’s investigation and his equally important companion head into the facility itself. Karl sprints on over to the facility himself, toting his low light certified photo gear. Where, Karl gets plenty of shots of the boys catching moths in the Men’s Room.

The beautiful young lady didn’t want to pay Karl his fee. But eventually, Karl got his fee anyway. But that’s another story Karl may have told Ray.

twirler moth, Metzneria maybe?
