It has been tediously windy all day. I ventured out to check things and disturbed this moth nestling among the toms. It very kindly settled long enough for me to take a photo.
This one, or one of these, has been in the bathroom a couple of days. It is little longer than the width of my index finger (and my fingers are not that fat!). [5/8/07 I now think that this might be a Light Brown Apple Moth (epiphyas postvittana). We have two neighbors with apple trees.]
Another moth that was in the bathroom a couple of nights ago.
A similar moth was on the kitchen curtains the following morning.
While this one was on the dining room ceiling. Again not much longer than the width of my index finger it also happens to look like a spear when veiwed top down.
This is one I should be able to get an ID for. It is much larger than those above (with the exception of the tomato resident) and the bands are elegant even if the colouration is nothing spectactular.
And the one I knew immediately by sight. A brimstone moth, smaller than I remember from last year, brilliantly coloured and frightfully common.
