I'm generally a fan of Lepidoptera (apart from when I had a brown-tail moth infestation). The other day I had a very pretty moth fly into my office, that I'd never seen before. It looked like this:




I helped it fly back out of the window, and then looked it up. Turns out it was a box-tree moth, the same bastard that destroyed my ornamental box tree last year. It seems that good looks aren't a guarantee of good character. You think I'd have learned that at my age.
