When I got to school the other morning I spotted a fairly large Catocala moth sitting on the wall under one of the security lights. In the midst of another slow week I was glad to see this moth and headed in to grab a specimen jar. However, before I could get to the door a scrawny little Chipping Sparrow jumped up out of the grass by the wall, grabbed my Catocala moth and took off.
A few luckier moths that I caught before the birds did.

One of my co-workers brought me this one this week and it is too cool not to share.
