What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.

Tis the season for...moths?
Living in Oklahoma, there are plenty of seasonal bug invasions that we come to dread each year. At the beginning of summer there are those pesky Junebugs who cover the entire porch, seem to attack at random and inevitably end up in the house buzzing around only to end up in a papertowel in the trash. Then, as the summer trucks along, the dreaded mosquitos make their entry and magically find ways to bite me on every area of my body no matter how well concealed. And as the heat of summer begins to fade into those perfect evenings of fall where there is no better place to be than outside having a glass of wine and chatting with the neighbors these huge swarms of gnats take over and make it difficult to breath or open your mouth without getting one up or in. However, the past couple of weeks I have encountered a new invasion that I do not remember from years past: moths. They are everywhere!! The other night while sitting on the porch I could count at least 100 of them on the window screens and every day I am dealing with a handful of them in the house. Does this happen every year and I have just somehow missed it? Maybe our old neighborhood did not have them? Either way, just like all of the other buggies that come and go I am certainly ready for these to go.
