The audacity of The Moth increased moments ago when it came out in broad daylight and dive bombed me! It landed on my picture window and I came at it with the fly swatter.
It landed on its back on my desk and raised its legs in supplication. I could hear it begging me for mercy. I told it to surrender. It rolled over onto its stomach and tried to rise to its knees, then collapsed.
I scooped it up and brought it outside. It took a lurch step and then took off on shaky wings. Will it live? I have no idea. Will it come back? I doubt it.
To be continued?
Yay for releasing it into the wild. i sure hope it doesn’t come back even though it did entertain you for awhile.
It was pretty wounded, I’m afraid. I debated whether release or more smacking would be merciful…
It will be back! I practice catch and release often here and I am sure most of them find their way back in.
Your optimism is such an inspiration! 😉
Only the deer return time after time….
We know the deer personally. First name basis!
Croft, how are Beelzebub, Damian, and Lucifer doing?
They are all nice and fat this year. They must have found another garden.
Norma must be pleased. 🙂
And moths. 🙁
Yeah!!! It shall live to torment another human 🙂
It will return, with friends!
Peter, you were right! 🙁
