Today, perhaps fifteen feet away, I saw something flutter below me and watched, determined to discover its identity. A tiny moth, which folded its wings like a roof over itself, tucked its head and antennae, and balanced lightly atop a blossom. Another Facebook BugGuide friend IDed this moth as Schinia arcigera, or Arcigera Fower Moth, another owlet typically seen only at night.
It isn't that I'm lucky, though sometimes I feel lucky to spot such wonders. It's that I go to look and then to learn.
Anything's possible with an inquisitive mind.
