Bedtime Butterflies?
More like night terrors if they get into your woolies.

The only moth I like comes with two tiny Japanese women.

Small Copper
Photographed today when I visited the 'hotspot' on my bike. There was a very large stand of Fleabane which had attracted a number of other species, such as Common Blues and Gatekeepers.

Found a little 'Small White' butterfly in the birds water bowl today, so I put him on the bird table to dry (there's no seed in the bird table at the moment so the birds don't even look at it), he then promptly kamikazed into the lawn, so I picked him up again and put him in the Buddleja where he seemed more content. It's not called the Butterfly bush for nothing after all.

I've been seeing (and feeling) more than a few of his smaller English cousins of late. One of the joys of living right next to marshland. The Romans knew what they were doing when they advised against building near marshes.

Quarantine lifted...partially
Quote:
Regions that are out of the quarantine include areas south of Imola Avenue, areas west of Mt. Veeder Road, the Carneros region, and portions of Eastern Napa County." Precisely my turf! Now for the Glassywinged Sharpshooter pest...http://gis.napa.ca.gov/Html5Viewer/Index.html?viewer=egvm_html ( Map)

In responding to Nipplespanner's "Pandora's Box" gun-thread comment I came across this:

I haven't seen any around here in DE, but I need the sphinx moth to pollinate my 2 Night-blooming cereus plant's blossoms.
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...fo0&ajaxhist=0 Above is not mine but is the same flower. They bloom only after dark and thru the night giving off a scent that smells like heaven. When daylight comes they're done and close only to die if not pollinated. If the blossom has been pollinated by the sphinx moth or a bat, then it will produce fruit. Which one needed, I have no idea. LOL http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...=0&FORM=IARRTH

Gardening for insomniacs!
HUH! In Bride of the Water God by Yun Mi-kyung, a night-blooming cereus is referred to as the "Loneliness of the Night" and refers most specifically to Epiphyllum oxypetalum. Do try to keep up! The flowers are described as being paired, so if one flower is plucked, another flower will die somewhere else. Therefore, they are also given the nickname "short-lived love". If you 'd just keep up with esoteric romance trivia you wouldn't need to ask such simple questions. Even Armistead and Wolfertz know this stuff! At least have a Dutchman's Pipe Cactus in your conservatory Naturally I lean toward the Sonoran Desert Cereus Peruvianus myself ...being a High Plains Drifter Rider of the Purple Sage anti-hero type. A word of caution: do not ever attempt to induce any of your inamoratii into field-trip night-viewing these baby's; They'll think your on some cheap 'make' and clobber you! (FYI the Peruvianus is pollinated by a moth...but I'm bats about 'em anyhow!)
