Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06
Someone bring the humane bug zapper too please... just been divebombed by a moth the size of a Lancaster Bomber... seriously... it was huge by moth standards!!! And no, I checked, it's not a Gipsy moth. I had to wrestle it out of the jaws of the Raven kitty, but it's flown off into the night now and seems to be OK.

(Any entymologists out there... it was about 3 cm nose to tip, fore and under wings mottled in shades of brown and black, like bark. Smooth antennae that rested parallel to wing, rather than back over head. Thorax was rusty brown colour but that could be where the cat got it, light brown abdomen. Head was fuzzy and set under rather than on the end).

Raven is miffed. I may have to let him catch a sausage.
