Very small...but brilliant...if you like that sort of thing...

Hey, I don't wanna be small and boring. I just want this blog to be action-packed and vibrant. So, with this firmly in mind check out my latest 5mm offering!



Meet Telphusa longifasciella, a micro with a name longer than its own wing length! Just take in the wonderful black-and-white scaling on those magnificent wings. What a beauty. New for my yard list and new for me - who could ask for more... Answers on a postcard please boys and girls.

There were a few birds in the back yard this morning but nothing dramatic. A couple of Baltimore Orioles were new for the year for me. I'll be doing my birdathon on Toronto Islands this weekend if any of you would like to sponsor me? All $$$ goes to Bird Studies Canada - a worthy cause if ever there was one.
