There's A New Moth God In Town!







Ok, I was fooled the last time - that huge moth only pretended to be the one and only Moth God. How can I be sure? Now that I have lived a while (16 months) in Tulsa, I have become less surprised by truly enormous insects. But wow! Look at this guy! Do you think he knows he looks just like a leaf? He was sitting on the ground right in front of my garage. So I gave him his tribute (what, you thought that coin was for scale? I have silks and woolens to protect!), and backed over him into the garage. Yes, I remember all that stuff I wrote about backing into a garage being silly, like how it is easier to pour milk out of a bottle than to pour it back in, but it makes John happy on the odd occasion that he takes my car out. Well, Green Moth God didn't even budge. He (She?) just wiggled those long antennae in acknowledgement of the coin.
