This male moth...
... the little thing with the big wings on the right...
... he can really FLY! *happy dance*
Not just flutter through 5 to 10 centimeters at a height of a couple of centimeters, but take off in the air and circle around me a little. He perched on my arm twice. Very untypical of a Bombyx mori domestic silkworm moth. It's good that there was that insect screen on the window (not that I would bring a box of excited males near the open window otherwise, for fear that they could just jump out).
Well, he isn't flying right now because he's busy as shown in the photo. LOL
In other news (if this is news) I'm still busy translating the text that is full of wine-tasting (and occasionally wine-making or vine-growing) terminology from Bulgarian into English. I even got some wine barrel making terminology today! *screams* There is no dictionary of all that, so I'm fishing around online for the terminology, and I'm very grateful to Google. But it's slow work, oh so slow...
