This moth hatches in our back yard at this time of the year, after rain. The moth is 50mm long.
(We had our first decent rain last week.)
Evidently the moths hatch and the females flutter over the ground laying their eggs which are like poppy seed. Somehow the eggs hatch and their offspring live in the ground until the following year when they push their pupae through the soil and hatch.

The Common Swift (Apus apus) is a small bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin. It is, however, completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution reflecting similar life styles.
The scientific name comes from the Greek απους, apous, meaning "without feet". These birds have very short legs which they use only for clinging to vertical surfaces (hence the German name Mauersegler, literally meaning "wall-glider"). They never settle voluntarily on the ground.
Like swallows, Common Swifts are migratory, and in midsummer they are found in Great Britain and northern Europe, while they winter much further south in southern Africa.
Swifts will occasionally live in forests, but they have adapted more commonly to human sites and will build their nests in all suitable hollows in buildings, under window sills, in the corner rafters of wooden buildings, in chimneys, and in smokestacks. A swift will return to the same nesting site year after year, rebuilding its nest when necessary.
Young swifts in the nest can drop their body temperature and become torpid if bad weather prevents their parents from catching insects nearby.
Swifts spend most of their lives in the air, living on the insects they catch in their beaks. They drink, feed, and often mate and sleep on the wing.
The common swift can reach 220km/hr in a dive!!!!

La cantante de country Taylor Swift ha comprado una fabulosa casa valorada en 1.7 millones de dólares a sus padres en Nashville, cuna del country.
La cantante de 21 años ha adquitido para sus padres una vivienda valorada en 1,4 millones de dólares y situada en Nashville, Tennessee, donde viven regularmente y Taylor Swift acude a visitarlos cuando no está trabajando en Los Ángeles.
"Es una casa increíble. Taylor ha visitado a sus padres allí y está muy contenta por ellos", ha revelado una fuente cercana a la familia.
Por otro lado, otra fuente ha revelado a la revista US Weekly que "Taylor acaba de comprarse una casa preciosa en Los Angeles. "¡Está tanto tiempo en L.A. que se estaba gastando una fortuna en cuentas de hotel!"
Para quienes conocen a Taylor Swift no es sorprendente que la artista haya sido tan generosa con sus padres ya que ellos siempre la han apoyado en su carrera musical.
Swift dijo que su padre es su mayor fan y que incluso se toma la molestia de distribuir su merchandising. "Mi padre es increíblemente optimista, positivo, lleno de fe hasta la exageración. Cree que cada canción nueva que escribo es la mejor. Vende camisetas en los puestos de mis conciertos y reparte púas de guitarra entre mis fans".
Con padres así ¿quién quiere un manager?
These birds are called Vaux's Swifts. During their fall migration, when they come through Portland, they roost in the chimney of the Chapman Elementary School in the Northwest neighborhood. At sunset over a thousand of the birds come to the chimney to sleep for the night. The sky fills with the birds, then they start swirling around the chimney, and begin funnelling down into it. Like a tornado. They actually sleep on the walls of the chimney. Every night during the first few weeks of September, hundreds of people come out and bring blankets and a picnic dinner to watch the birds come in. This shot was taken on 9/23 during the last week of their stop in Portland.
