Holy cow - this morning I spotted my first luna moth in like fifteen years, resting on a brick wall at work. What a beauty!

Luna moths are common throughout the eastern US, but their night flying habits and short life span as an adult moth - only about 1 week - combine to make them a rare find. Most adults fly from early June to early July. In New Jersey larvae eat hickory, walnut, and sweetgum leaves. Adult luna moths don't eat; in fact, they don't even have a mouth. Their only purpose is to mate.



Nedmentum!
Lamont pulls even with incumbent Quisling McKissyface in latest poll.

Democratic challenger Ned Lamont has pulled into a dead heat in his US Senate race with egotistical Bushkissing vichycrat Joe Lieberman, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. The poll shows Lamont ahead 51-47 percent among likely voters in the Aug. 8 Democratic primary. That compares to a 55-40 percent lead for Lieberman in a similar poll in June.
