Local Wildlife

The bugs here are crazy. The ants bite. There are fireflies. And then there was this: 


I realize there is no real frame of reference for the size of this thing.... but it had a wingspan of at least six inches. I've seen smaller birds.
It found a nice spot to live on the ceiling of our back porch for a few days. 

There are also cockroaches, but I like to pretend they don't really exist.

No geckos, though. Bummer.

Probably hiding out until the air quality goes back to yellow (that just sounds wrong)

Well, you moved to Texas and...
Everything's BIG in Texas!

Sooooo, if that's a moth, then how big are the bats? YIKES!
(I know I'm not helping but you are providing endless sources of free entertainment)

I haven't seen any bats yet... I know they are here by the thousands, but I haven't seen any.

the moth is much bigger than a gecko -- it probably ate them all.
