Eat Moths


This healthy eating is always a good idea in my view.  Tonight however I found choice limited and made do with what was available.   Do you think this can be considered healthy...?
'Yorkshire Bitter,' have you ever met anyone from Yorkshire that wasn't bitter..? 
At the supermarket I always inform the girl that the booze is for my breakfast, sad to say one or two of them appear to believe me! 
I wonder why?
Anyway a law ought to be passed where a woman is instructed to make dinner for men who canny cook.  Surely this would be right?  I can see benefits with this, indeed they can do the ironing and hoover the floor as well, it is what they were made for innit?



This morning a friend sent me this picture.  I had to increase the size as the beastie was very small.  We spent a while searching for pictures of Butterflies before deciding this was a moth!  They all look the same don't they?  After a while we decided this was a Jersey Tiger.  Satisfied with this I realised we had spent hours staring at pictures of beasties, many of which looked similar, and time was passing fast.   
The fascination variety of wee beasties amazed me.  So many different colours, patterns, sizes, most shaped similarly but then there is the caterpillars from which they grow, also a huge similar variety. 
It does not surprise me when I hear it said that a great many insects have not yet been discovered, that variations of those known are still to be found and billions of them are all around us daily and we don't notice them.  Unless of course the window is open and the light is on, that brings them home!

Just beware of the woman drafted to cook your dinner who makes salt cod with ackee...the latter under ripe...

Butterflies have knobby bits on the ends of their antennae. Moths don't. Just read that recently. You can tell me if that is right but sounds good to me.

A lovely little creature. I have seen so many butterflies this year, but they're nothing to the variety of other insects. I noticed some bright green metallic ones crawling all over a dog turd today, I think they are blowflies and if one can stop thinking about their lifestyle they are really
very attractive. Trouble is I really don't like poring over dog turds! Thank you for the link to Lawrence Durrell - I will listen to it!

Can I spot an orange lurking in the background? Which of those in the picture is your five a day?

Fly, I canny imagine any woman doing that....

Kay, That's interesting, I will look out for that.

Jenny, Yes beasties do find pleasure in awkward places...

Dave, Ha! That made me laugh, I am not giving an answer mind.
