Outdoor Moths or (Muths)

Many have queried, Crumby, do moths live anywhere at the CB besides the Men’s Comfort Station? Well, they do. This particular moth for example is often seen flitting through the weeds in broad daylight. Yet it is a difficult moth to photograph. The average amateur photographer is likely to blow the highlights on this particular moth.

Many figure that moths are nocturnal. If that’s so, where do they go during daytime? Is there a special place moths go where nobody can find them during the day? Maybe, but more likely those moths are just sneaky. Yes. Many times Crumby has observed just how sneaky a moth can be. What those moths do is fly along to a flower. But then when they get to the flower, instead of landing on top of the flower, they land under the flower. Then, hidden under the flower, they stick their nasty sucker straws over the top of the flower to drink, while simultaneously remaining concealed.

This moth though, is cryptic. Supposedly it looks like bird poop. So it can sit right out in the open, fearing naught, because everyone thinks it’s a turd. Tarache aprica
