Philonome clemensella Moth week isn&#039;t going so well in Connecticut because it has been raining so much. But, little gems like this one make up for the lack otherwise!<br />

Moth week isn't going so well in Connecticut because it has been raining so much. But, little gems like this one make up for the lack otherwise!

  1. Respect for persisting anyway, this is quite a beauty! Posted 4 years ago
    1. Thanks! Too bad it's blurry! Better than nothing though. Posted 4 years ago
      1. That's normal, super hard to focus on. I can tell from the cloth pattern how tiny it must be. Posted 4 years ago
        1. It was small and hyper. I can relate. Posted 4 years ago

  2. Very cute! We are getting rained out here too! I put my sheet up on the porch (under the pole barn) to see if anything came this morning (it was pouring). I got a handful of moths but mostly midges :/ Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
    1. I've hardly mothed this week because of the affects of the weather and my stinking arthritis. We have received more than 400% of the rain we normally would get for July! I keep my sheet on the deck, which has a roof, but the rain has been so strong that I end up taking the lights down so they don't get wet. Plus, the moon is super bright. not ideal mothing conditions for me, I'm afraid.
