And now for something completely different!
Coronavirus
We used to have so many coronavirus cases that no other countries were on the same scale as us, so we were the only ones on the page. We still lead the world in cases, but India and Brazil have been gaining on us. They’ve joined us on the first page.
It looks like Brazil is now slowing down their spread though. India is closer to us but turning away from us as well, as our number of infections heads back off in the wrong direction.
Hurricane Zeta
Zeta will be the eighth hurricane landfall on the Gulf Coast this season.
Not headed for us here in South Texas, but look out Louisiana!
Butterflies and caterpillars
Remember the blue mist bush, covered with butterflies?
The butterflies are gone, and now there are big woolly caterpillars.
The butterflies that were on the bush look a lot like monarchs, but they’re a little smaller; a little different. They’re Queen butterflies. So when the caterpillars appeared I figured; Cool; Queen butterfly caterpillars. I googled Queen butterfly caterpillars and got this.
Well, that’s not it.
Maybe they’re monarchs then. That’s the only other butterfly we’ve seen around lately. Google says:
That’s not it either.
What kind of butterfly does our caterpillar turn in to?
Google says that most furry caterpillars turn into moths, not butterflies. We never thought to check these flowers at night, so we have no idea what kinds of moths have been here.
