Flaky
The Internet is being flaky here at my house tonight. 🤷🏻♀️
If the photo is there, it is a Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva aurea).
Welcome to my nature blog! I love sharing my photos of North Texas! I will keep looking out and hope you do too.
Comments welcome. Thank you, Mary
I can see it. A beautiful moth and flower!
Wow what great color!
I have had those on flowers in my Carrollton yard. Neat.
And yes it all came through.
Rain or no rain? Seems it comes down very spotty. I heard in town they had 3 inches this past week. We thought 1.7″ was awesome plus a few showers since. But today we went over to our lease. This is the place Claire stayed with me and my parents for a February birding weekend. The have had less than half an inch. Our creek is very very very low. Tanks are empty. Remember going out in the pasture to that pond Claire? It has been totally dry for a year now.
Our part of the Pedernales is running but above us aways where the bridge crosses over, it is dry. So we must have a spring just above our section. And the spring is flowing. May have to do some river hiking to see if we can tell where.
Claire, I took you down to the river near our farm too and we got to count a pair of mallards, if you can remember back.
What a beautiful flower and moth. Nice pic.
Kathy you talking about river not running reminds me of the llano when it quit running a few years ago. Then it flooded and was within six inches of our house. So the pedernales might do the same.🤞🏽
I remember that flood and the bridge being taken out at Kingsland. Our Pedernales has come across the highway 3 times, twice were in my lifetime. Luckily we are up a hill. The last time it came across the highway it washed highway pavement away on the curve down the road from us. Growing up with such floods, i respect the power of water!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Hopefully the internet works better today.
