  2. From today's Facebook post:

    For the last day of National Moth Week, we are featuring one of our moderators, Gary B. Gary is a botanist whose interests extend to include many aspects of nature. He’s currently working on documenting the moths that live in his area, and is one of our most dedicated moth-ers. Plus, he readily shares his invaluable insight and wisdom with others on JungleDragon. You are awesome, Gary! We are so grateful to have you in the JungleDragon family! Thank you for your contributions!
