Sweet Reunion

I heard the chorus to this song when I walked into a bookstore in Spain to buy a map 18 years ago. I remember it was freezing outside and I was happy to be off the street. I never knew what song it was or who sang it. Only a brief moment with the chorus has stayed with me for 18 years. I really didn't look very hard but something inspired me the other day to do some searching and I found it! It isn't exactly as I remember but it is pretty close. Here it is:

POLYPHEMUS

So, the other day I got an anonymous comment and all it said was "that's cool." Yeah, go check it out for yourselves...if anyone is reading! Well it inspired me to look up some info on my pictures. Here is what I found about my moth invader.

It's a giant silkmoth called a POLYPHEMUS because of the eyespots on the wings...Interestingly enough it is also the name of the Cyclops in The Odyssey. Now THAT'S COOL!

Invasion of the moths






When the porch light is left on all night the moths invade making morning coffee hour on the deck an adventure! I took these photos back in June :)
