Yellow lights do not attract bugs at night. The light we use at home is a beacon extraordinaire! It's an energy saving white light, but it causes a heap of bug activity in front. It is funny to watch people get the wiggly heebie-jeebies and swat like crazy every time they pass through this bug zone. (Is it wrong of me to be amused by that?) I should charge admission for the entomological zoo we have at my front door. I could buy itch relief product by the case, mark it up and rake in serious cash-ola, hand over fist.
.
Another idea is to make my own little bug identification chart. That one had some real appeal to me, because then I could issue a challenge to find a bug that was not already identified on my chart. Hey, I'm a homeschool dad, and that's the kind of thing we do, right?.
Well, I took a picture of this moth, and then I started searching online for an identification. Do you know how many varieties of moth there are?!!!!!.
Forget it! I'm going back to the zoo idea..
This is a male Chickweed Moth. Thank you Carletta for identifying this moth for me.
