Day 26 - Moth week is upon us
The night of July 22nd Chennai
My balcony has a white wall and a white light. It serves as my moth screen - attracting these night time fliers. Last night I saw an unusual white one - Palpita, a snout moth and another Teak Defoliator that probably was mothered on the teak trees in the neighbour's garden.
Moths are cool. They were there before butterflies
Quite beautiful.
And mysterious - we know so little.
So, dont be afraid, they do no harm
and maybe you will find that one astonishing beauty
I turn off the balcony lights when I go to bed - so that I do not make them moths into lizard food, and also allow them to move on.
