sightings
OK, here's the update on celebrity sightings in my neighborhood--natural celebrities, that is.
#1: a fritillary butterfly, maybe an Aphrodite or a Great Spangled; flew away too fast to get a good look
from the Gallery, Myth in Classical Art
Compare this to an image of the butterfly here, or here.
#2: a stick bug; attached to my driver's side window of the car about two weeks ago. Unbelievably attached with suction-cup like feet it did not let go at over 80k/hr. It looked like it had a wind-induced face lift (if its' face had had skin vs an exo-skeleton, or whatever stick insects have). I did feel sorry for it and stopped to scoop it off the window and set it in the grass by the side of the road. (E.T., phone home)
