on this vine, with beautiful pink flowers, are these node-like joints, with the spikes protruding out on two sides and when I first noticed them I did not see the face on the bottom side.

The false heather underwing is a member of the Erebidae family and can be found along the eastern shores of the United States. Also known as a graphic moth, the false heather has a wingspan of 30-35 mm and is covered in beautiful brown and white patterns. The moth has an extended flight period lasting from May to August. After their flight is over, the adults mate, lay their eggs, and perish. Larvae emerge from the eggs in early-fall and feed on the evergreen, flowering plant species, Hudsonia, the false heather.
Moths are able to travel vast distances in order to find new habitat, but with growing human development, appropriate habitats are harder to find. Increasing insecticide use to rid cities of nuisance bugs such as mosquitos is also affecting other species of insects, like the underwing moth. We can encourage our cities to reduce the use of insecticides by eliminating standing pools of water which attract nuisance insects, and using insect friendly methods to keep away mosquitos rather than filling the air with harmful insecticide. In general, there has been a significant decline in the moth population in North America in the past 25 years, this is currently being researched. There is a direct correlation between the rise of light pollution and the decline of moths feeding, procreation and longevity. The International Dark Sky Association is educating the public about the concerns of light pollution, there are currently fourteen dark cities in the United States though none in New England. Supporting this advancement in the North East would help all moth species to repopulate.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

The web, here in an outside window reveal, is shapeless and hard to see, but has been likened to a hammock.
