 Big Moth Good evening gang, we had this monster moth or butterfly hanging out at the aquarium the other day and it just so happens I had my camera with me that day. The wingspan on this bad boy was around 10 inches making it one of the largest I have ever seen. I looked on line but could not find a name so I am counting on my butterfly and moth experts out there to help me. The underside of this guy was pretty dark, like a dark brown to black if that helps at all? This moth pretty much just hung onto this tree all day trying to stay out of the wind.
I forgot to tell you all about our little wild parakeet encounter yesterday morning. I was taking Aimee to the whale at 6:15 in the morning and all of a sudden she yells, “that was a little parakeet sitting in the middle of the road”!! I hit the brakes and wiped a u-turn as fast as I could and sure enough there in the middle of the road on the white stripe was a little green parakeet. I pulled over and raced out and grabbed him and carefully handed him to Aimee, one more car and he would have been run over! He wasn’t moving much, we thought he may have a broken leg or wing so I took him home and put him in a little cage to rest. Well about 40 minutes passed before I could get back to him and when I returned he was now clinging onto the cage door. Stupid me I opened the door to put some food in and out he flew never to be seen again? We are guessing he just ran into a windshield and laid there on the road in a daze and just needed some time to recover. I sure hope he’s alright?
Aimee was home sick all day with something?? I first took the dogs for a two hour hike at Saint Joris, then went with my buddy Cival to the Bat Caves and did some photography and just got home from a 25 mile mountain bike ride, I am done!!
Hope all is well with everyone, I can sure tell it’s the weekend I never hear from anyone! Bye, Barry
