A few days ago, I posted my June phenology calendar - which focused mainly on weather, with a few brief notes about events that marked the day.
Later that day, Anne - who introduced me to this beautiful way of noting nature - shared her June calendar with me. As usual, her sketches of what she sees - bird, animal and plant life make me marvel that she can paint them all so skillfully, fitting them into the small wedge of paper allotted to each day.
She also sent me this photo she took of a black and white Eudryas Grata moth she noticed resting under an outdoor light one evening. (It's also knowh as "beautiful wood nymph." Its resemblance to bird droppings protects it from being eaten by them! Amazing!!)
Anne commented that she has begun checking "under the light" for beauties like this that often go unnoticed. She added some to her June calendar. (June 10, 22, 23, 28, 29)
I will be looking for more "under the light" creatures in her July calendar!
