Bug of the Day

Saw this beautiful azalea sphinx (Darapsa choerilus) at the light last night. I always forget it is the azalea sphinx - because of the specific epithet, and the beautiful reddish tones on this moth, my brain always thinks “cherry sphinx.” But this moth does not eat cherry, and “choerilus” does NOT have anything to do with cherry - it is actually a reference to the Greek poet Choerilus.

Black and white photo of an elderly white man in winter coat and big floppy knitted mittens, hugging a shorthaired tabby in his arms and seeming to smile and kiss the back of its head. The cat looks so happy!

Love. ❄️ 1967. Source.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired brown tuxedo tabby cat sitting outside. It looks like an older cat, and this is just editorializing on my part but it seems very calm and wise and faithful.

I love this. I love it when you feel like a cat's personality is communicated through its portrait. Source.

Black and white photo of a white woman in a dark dress or blouse and long skirt, sitting up in a chair for a studio portrait and cradling a shorthaired tuxedo tabby cat in her arms. Both of them look straight at the viewer.

Cutest couple. 🏆 Source.

Black and white photo of a man with dark, short, curly hair reclining against the back of an upholstered chair. A shorthaired tabby kitten is standing on the arm of another chair behind him to reach over the back of the man's chair to play with his hair.

Grainy newsprint black and white photo of a fluffy black and white or possibly tortie kitten, sitting up and looking with very wide eyes at something off camera. It really looks quite exceptionally alarmed or interested.

Stunned! 1941. Source.
