Post of moths and random
Jun. 22nd, 2006 03:47 pmYanno, eventually I really wanna make a huge TMI post, just to get things off my chest. ...And also because the world seems to be conspiring against me. But mostly to crab about stuff.
I also need to finish writing that giant poll regarding CFUD con, as I now have the go-ahead and need to find stuff out. Mostly how many people are willing to commit right now, but also other stuff, like activities and so forth.
Except right now, all I wanna talk about is that moth I found in the back yard.
I'm pretty sure it's a hawk moth. If it's not, it's about the right size for one. And I'm not sure whether it's actually alive. If it is, it's probably on its last limbs ;_; I hope it had a long and fulfilling life, for a moth. I'm really not sure how long this species lives, though I know luna moths only live (as moths) for about five days. Which is a giant gypp, 'specially compared to monarch butterflies, which live long enough to migrate.
Found it on the pavement out back. Thought it was dead so I took it inside to save it from the ants ^^a They won't be thanking me for that. Ended up seeing its antenna move a bit, so now I'm less sure. Went and got a cherry for it, just in case; those things have a lot of juice, even if it does turn out to be too sour. Wanted to at least save the body, because it's really pretty and I hardly ever get to see things like this up close, alive or not. *sigh*
...I'm just a giant dork for nature, aren't I?
And now, the more random portion of this post:
• Anyone know any good recipes involving cherries? We've got enough here for at least two pies, and I wanna try some different stuff. Gonna need something (lots of somethings) for apples later, as well as peaches and pears. Gotta love our mini-orchard.
• Need Iruka fic recs plz. Not actually for me, but still need them. I can't give a lot, because I'm usually more interested in the kids :D;;; So, um. Suggestions?
