Knowing my interest in moths a friend brought me a find from a recent walk - it was a (dead) cocooned moth - she reckoned it was an old one - some moths apparently overwinter by wrapping up in a shell like cocoon and emerging in the warmer season - this one hadn't made it -She had found two so she dissected one and found a desiccated moth inside and brought the other one for me to look at- yes its a strange - but interesting gift - my friend is also strange and interesting... (many of my friends are)... so we dissected it on the kitchen table expecting dried moth but found a fairly gruesome alien like grub - damp and floppy and now I think we may be infected and ready to star in alien 5 - the togston alien meets grub affair - so posts from now on will be sporadic possibly because the alien got us but more likely because we are heading off in Beryl again - first to the Blue Dot festival at Jodrell Bank to see Underworld and then down to Wales and surrounding area to explore esoteric crags. I'll leave this with pretty drawn and embroidered moths rather than aliens..
