Went to the library, forgetting Tuesday is the night they host the chess club I've been meaning to check out. They invited me in, and before I knew it I'd lost to two different people, but I had fun all the same. There's an 82-year-old dude there who's unstoppable.

Friendly reminder that if you want to see moths/butterflys, you'll need to stop killing the caterpillars

A Speckled Emperor Moth sitting on soil, she has more paler colours than typical for the species. Top wings are white and cream mixed with brown, like thawing snow on spruce wood. They both contain a small dark brown dot. The bottom wings are a similar colour on the outer rings but hold two yellow eye like patterns, in their centre, two black pupils. The eyes are surrounded by two light rosy pink, and a deeper pink, rings. Its fat fuzzy body is the same dark brown shade as the two dots on the top wings, it grows softer further down the abdomen. Unfortunately, this diva is missing her antenna fluff, the main body of each appendage is still present.
Moth sitting inside a human hand, wingtip to wingtip it is larger than the hand. Darker brown wings than first image with a richer pink colour around the yellow 'eyes' of the bottom wings, bordering on magenta. The antenna fluff is approximately the same width as cheap STAEDTLER pencil, each.
Fantass caterpillar clinging upside down on an acacia trees growth. predominantly green with a magenta line running through it. It is covered in white spots and has 2 rows of yellow spots too. It has white bumps on its top body
