Muted afternoon colors

Yesterday, I posted the skunk’s scientific name, Mephitis mephitis. So this morning I decided to look up the meaning of the name. First I tried to break the word down. Me is Latin for “not:. However I could not find anything for phitis. The Google search kept trying to make it photo LOL. Next I just searched the word mephitis. I found that mephitis in Latin means noxious vapor or exhalation. Mephitis is also the name of a Roman goddess of foul- smelling gases from volcanos and swampy areas. So the next time, you smell a skunk , you could say “the mephitic (the adjective form) air means a Mephitis species is nearby” LOL! Just a FYI for you today. Now a couple of things I found today.
