		<description><![CDATA[This white moth came to our porch light on July 4, 2011. Its wings look a bit ratty at the edges, so this was probably near the end of its life. Which suggests that the main flight period for this species was probably earlier, maybe most of the month of June. After a bit of [...]]]></description>

This particular one was at the mouth of Cole&#8217;s Creek, just down the road from our house. They look kind of beetle-like, but they are actually [...]]]></description>
