Moth Diaries

December 31, 2012

For a couple of years our front porch light had a nice warm, yellow glow about what you'd expect from a yellow bug light. It recently burned out so I changed it out today.

It wasn't a yellow bulb but the white bulb shining through the dead bodies of moths. Hundreds and hundreds of moths that crawled into the light fixture. Here's a photo of the fixture.

I wonder if the moths thought that was moth heaven? I wonder if moths think at all.

It belongs to the subfamily Cetoniinae, comprising a group of beetles commonly called flower chafers since many of them feed on pollen, nectar, or petals.

When they say "scudding clouds" this is what they mean.​
