I hate when people ask me how long it took me to crochet something I’ve made. Frankly, that’s none of my business. I put the yarn on the hook and worked on it whenever the spirit happened to take me to and then one day it was done. How long that process took is between the yarn and god; I want no part of it.

Bug of the Day

So this is pretty cool - A couple of weeks ago I found this Tussock Moth (likely hickory tussock moth, Lophocampa caryae) who had just laid eggs on the Vuku I use to house my bug light (IYKYK). Nine days later I was back at the light and the caterpillars had hatched! Here is what they look like fully grown: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1442651/bgimage
