This moth, also known as the dot-lined angle moth, is native from the southern U.S. down to northern Argentina. It was first noted in Hawaii in 1970 and has since spread across the Pacific all the way to Malaysia and Hong Kong.

OK kids, follow me.

We’re going over to the other side.

Why mom? There’s cars out there.

Hmmm. Good point. Maybe that’s not such a good idea. About turn.

There’s quite a bit of tall grass in some of the pastures around here. Goodness knows how the calves know where they are!

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 748. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.







I was swimming on the morning of July 4th when I saw these four Eagle Rays ahead. The three closer ones were clearly younger pups and had a good deal of curiosity about the big, clumsy creatures they’d encountered.

They were quick to show how good they were at swimming, curving around in graceful arcs, diving and soaring effortlessly.

Back and forth they went, swimming quite close at times. In the meantime, the fourth ray, which I think was probably the mother, hung around at a discreet distance, monitoring the situation. I imagined her thinking, ‘We’re never going to get anywhere if those three don’t get a move on.’
