(no subject)
My car broke today. As in muffler pipe broke in half... dragging on the ground... catching on EVERYTHING and I had to drive 5 miles (or maybe only 2) at 15 mph on highway 173 with my flashers on... and I probably shouldn't have even done that, but I have NO signal and the radio they gave me didn't reach back to the Sandhill office. fucking awesome
The guys here have wired it up so it's not dragging, but I get to take it into Pittsville tomorrow for them to fix it. It's probably going to be around $200 (which I don't even have in my bank account), so I'll have to borrow money from Bill. I don't even know if I'll be able to do any of my work tomorrow without a car. Maybe I'll actually be able to use one of the beefy DNR trucks.
ANYWAY, Here's what I'm working with:
Pretty no? This is a male. I already know far more about this animal than anything else short of wolves. They actually are very complicated, which is probably why they're so endangered (Besides the fact that the plant it's on is a Lupine and that's the only plant that the larvae will feed on -_-). BTW: They are tiny! Like 1/5th the size of a monarch or anything like that, but luckily, they have a pretty distinctive flight pattern. And fortunately, they only occur where Lupine does, so if there's no lupine, there's no point in looking for butterflies. Makes my job a little easier.
