The looper moth, seen here in Oregon's Mt. Hood National Forest, is among the moth species that have a tympanum, which works like an ear, on their abdomens.

Michael Durham has disappeared completely off the map in terms of international competition since the start of last season when he should have become senior, so New Zealand has no senior level figure skaters. Come on NZ. Fund the skating. I want a kiwi to support.

This might look like C.G.I. but it's a real beetle captured by photographer Michael Durham in the process of diving.  I think it's some kind of diving beetle.

I bought chickens today! They are a month old and look kinda gangly, in fact give of them look exactly like the Black Barred Rock chicks pictured. I didn't want day old chicks as they are too much work. These guys are a little easier, but will still be living indoors for the next few weeks which will give me time to finalize plans for the coop and pen. I'm so excited!

Here's what I got:

5 Black Barred Rocks

3 Buff Orpingtons

2 Golden Seabrights

1 Black Cochin (with feathers on its feet)
