Vermont Flood, Day 26
The shelter is closed. After 26 days our work is done and we're going home. Those of us with homes to go to that is.

Spring Fertility
We're having babies left and right! First the Rosy Maple Moth now not one or two but 5 Cecropia Moths. They hatched from eggs given to me by a caterpillar friend (everyone needs one).
