I’ve got several posts in the works. One is on mayflies, insects that spend much of their lives in clean freshwater ecosystems. Fascinating insects with a lineage that pre-dates the dinosaurs.

Another post is about some moths in the Tortricidae that have recently entered North America. Hedya salicella is one of those moths, but there are others. They have appeared in various places in the US and Canada, mostly in the east.

It looks like my computer is fried, but the hard drive might be salvaged. Even the screen and keyboard are destroyed. Fortunately, most of the files are backed up. (UPDATE: my computer came back to life!)
