The Moth and Me #10
The latest edition of The Moth and Me, the blog carnival dedicated to our favourite club-less lepidopterans, has been posted at my other blog, The Marvelous in Nature.
The next The Moth and Me will be hosted by Ted at Beetles in the Bush – send him your posts by May 13th for inclusion in the next edition!
We have a host lined up for July, but June and August through November are still awaiting hosts. If you think this sounds like fun (and it is!), drop me a note at canadianowlet [at] gmail [dot] com to sign up or find out more.
