Linkletter photographed a LAPPET MOTH in July. The photo shows the unusual
stance while resting. Presumably it is imitating something to act as camouflage
but not sure just what.
** Brian Stone
noted a large SPIDER and egg sac and many spiderlings under a house roof on
Monday. The photo is a distant one and may not be clear enough to identify the
spider, but does show the scenario of mother, egg sac, and young
spiderlings.
