I too wish him the best of speedy recoveries and wonder if, as he'll be having time on his hands, he's prepared to give consideration to situations which might be troubling us, and offer advice?

Personally, I am perplexed by something that arose in Stackpole recently. I got into a conversation with women sitting next to me as we awaited Les' appearance on the stage at the Stackpole Centre. It's usually an oudoor pursuit centre which might explain the humungous moth stretching it's wings over the stage. (We're talkin' Japanese B-movie sci-fi here. It was Big.) Anyway, we got to wondering why many moths come out at night, why do they then make immediately for your lightbulbs? We hypothesized that, when God was handing out stuff in the Creation (nod in the direction of Ms Palin), maybe the moths were goofing off so they drew permanent night shift.

Or not.

Les obviously knows a lot about fireflies and such, so maybe he can offer advice on moths?

Perhaps others here have conundrums which are gnawing at the back of their brain boxes which Les might sort out while he's 'at leisure'.

Many thanks,
