Not entirely pointless

I think you'll agree that I've been quite successful in evading the trap of filling this blog with loads of 'off-topic' stuff, which is all well and good but as we're well into autum the posts inevitably dry up: a glance at the list of archived months will confirm this happened last year as it is now happening in 2007.

There has been one moth in the bathroom this week; a small microlepidopera I've attempted to photograph before without great success. It is less than one centimeter long and has coppery speckled upper wings. I never see it during the day and the sheen makes flash photography problematic with my limited equipment and even more severely limited skill.

Any ho, I'm not dead. The sun is out and the Red Emperors are in flight in the back garden still, continuing to enjoy the rotting plums I have set out in buckets for them.

And I have to go to work.

Well yeah it's not entirely pointless. At least you described the bug quite well.
