Interlude: Cat on a Hawk Moth Roof
The splendor of nature RUDELY intrudes on the apocalypse.
Camera: iPhone 6s, mf. 2016.
Hawkmoth: Incredibly hungry for pollen. No regard for human+phone proximity.
Cat: Easily distracted with petting. Ultimately, unfulfilled.
Remember: If you are personally being accosted by a Virus Truther who insists there is no way for genes encoding an array of envelope and non-envelope proteins to proliferate in the wilds of nature, bird-sized insects with tongues at long as their entire bodies who can sustain themselves on tiny flower proteins eaten mid-flight while dodging cat-attacks exist.
Awesome pics!
Our cat chased the hawkmoths off, or ate them. I, too, have some good iPhone pictures of them, and several videos. Alas, our cat is too old to care anymore.
