The moth was doomed, as there was no way that it could get through that window. It looked like a Bollworm moth (Helicberpa armigera), as its larva looks exactly the same as the ones that we get here on

A weekend of babysitting takes us on an adventure!

People are really getting up in arms over a new "millionaire tax" about to take effect here in Washington state.
