Whut it is? Whut it do? Whut the heck?

Like on the night of last April 11, Crumby left lights on for the moths. Five different moths showed up that Crumby figured he had a fair chance of identifying. Crumby photographed all those. Then there were a few moths that Crumby deemed hopelessly unidentifiable that he didn’t bother with. So far, out of the five, Crumby has succeeded in identifying one moth to species. That one is Bulia deducta. The other four remain mystery moths. Therefore, Crumby has a 20% Whut it is? profile.

However, Crumby has a 100% Whut it do? profile. Whut it do? It come to the light at night. Duh!

Plants, sedentary in nature, ought to be way easier to manage than moths. Here is an example, Pictured are three Bromes. Whut it do? Easy that, all are noxious weeds and generally no account.. In Stinky Valley, an average botanist is seldom out of sight of these particular Bromes.


















Whut it is? Top to bottom, these are rescuegrass, mystery brome, Jap brome. All these, in spite of unrelenting persecution, actually persist at the CB. But the middle one has appeared only lately. In Gould, it keys to Bromus secalinus, until the final couplet when an average botanist discovers the florets are too big, and the paleas are too big too. So it may not be, properly spelling, secalinus, whatever that is.

Well, the whole point of this exercise is to demonstrate that an average person may know Whut it do?, even when Whut it is? remains a mystery. Whut the heck?
