Wasn’t that the rare and exotic butterfly that the butterfly collector went to Gilligans Island for???

Kill these fucks on sight.

As with Col Kurtz… “terminate with extreme prejudice.”

Somehow, we got pretty lucky with them. We had them a little bit in 2021 pretty heavy in 2022 and the last few years not bad at all.

I deferred to the interwebs... Entomology is not my field

According to the web, they are pretty close... That top set of wings on the lanternfly makes it look a lot like the leopard moth... so says Nebraska Entomology (tweeted the graphic) and NC Extension (created graphic)

You are one amazing researcher!

Three of my top life mentors were WWII Veterans.
One spent 2 years in a Japanese POW camp, living on cabbage and worms (because the worms got it before him) his stomach never recovered.
He'd buy a plate lunch at the deli, eat from it 3-4 times throughout the day and evening, then throw the remainder out.

One reenlisted as a Marine for Korea, as he thought they'd have him "better prepared" than the army had done.

Man - they sure don’t make em like they did in those days.

Truly the greatest generation!

This one was fresh out of the cocoon, you can see it's still pumping up it's wings. Probably 6" to 7" wingspan. Giant cecropia moth.

Watched it for 15-20 minutes, then let it do it's thing. Probably a once in a lifetime thing to see one emerge.

Wow - beautiful!

I just sent this one to Mrs. wonder too.

She’s all mushy like that.

Update on my partner’s daughter, she is responding well to anti viral meds and could be released today. We are waiting on test to confirm the virus. Some speculation is a reaction to exposure to Picornaviridae, aka foot and mouth disease!

Glad to hear that she’s on the mend and that it wasn’t anything too serious.

As a road warrior of on average 160 days a year in hotels…the struggle is real!

Hope everyone is getting the drop on the weekend. Spring has sprung and the pollen is washing over us in waves. Hope the weather is good in your neck of the jungle! Last of the Santa Fe MZ…

In New Jersey, we have a delicacy called pork roll, egg and cheese sandwiches. Typically on a good Portuguese raw straight out of the bakery in Newark.

Mmmmmmmmm!

Poor Mrs. Wonderer. She has to put up with immature bullshit from me all the time.

She was running late this morning and asked me to help her make a sandwich. When my kids were really little, I used to put little smiley faces or a little goofy things on the waxed paper or parchment paper I wrapped their sandwiches in.

Even when my daughter was a teen teenager and we’d make sandwiches for a volleyball tournaments, I’d put a volleyball or something cute on the waxed paper.

But Mrs. wonder gets the real wonderer treatment. She has not seen it yet. She will at lunchtime tho. What are the odds she will
Laugh
Roll her eyes
Or just be disgusted

Hard to see, but a pic of her wrapped sandwich from today.

I didn't see that patch but distinctly remember that I was looking at patches to see who people were and to tell people where their brother bikers were at...

This is so true. Most people have no idea that power poles are useful as a road markers!
