It was a light colored BLUR, very fast!
The eggs I have being laid on my netting is by medium sized whitish moths...same as last year.
I never scooped any & jarred to see what emerged, must be super tiny though, as the eggs are teensy.
OBTW- good to have you back too!!!!!!!!!
And you are so welcome.
I do have a Q for everyone:
What plant grows on 1 single upright stalk, has a crown/canopy of leaves shaped like peony leaves, solid green, and then flowers emerge, white small petals, yellow interior, and they point straight down ?
They emerge from my compost, as volunteers.
They are not weeds and do not grow anywhere here in WA.
Funny, flowers hang upside down, like lanterns from this canopy of leaves.
Very weird....
I'm no good at identifying plants from descriptions, do you have a minute to get a photo?
(tomorrow, obviously, not to go out with your 45 in one hand and a camera in the other!)
Planning on it...be about 9-ish when I can get a photo back here...G'night all!!
doubt that I will be on very much for next few days, grandkids arrive via Amtrak just after noon, then the plan is to drive up Mt Rainier; Saturday we'll go to the Sounders soccer game, Sunday off to the airport and they'll return to Oahu and Kauai

This plant, all total, is about 24-28" tall, blossoms about nickle size, regular blooms white petals, yellow centers...like a fruit tree blossom, but face down ward.
So far, none have set fruit.
This is the second year these plants have volunteered in my compost, and NONE are living elsewhere in the landscape...so I think it must be a veg I composted, volunteering....or from outter space ???
Maybe fell out of that plane that flys over Stumpfarmer's place and drops out roses ???
OBTW::: Lyda is doing wonderfully!!!!!!!!!! A very spoiled girl indeed!!!!!!!!
SMELLS SO GOOD!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for Lyda Rose!!

My netting is also getting absolutely soaked with eggs. Several are hatching, but the little larva are so darn young and miniscule in size I can't tell heads or tails if they're moths, sawflies, or something else.
BTW welcome back!
LOVING the Tomatillos and Ground Cherries you sent me.
I'm getting lots of fruit and they're so good straight off the vine. The Yellow ones seriously are like crossing cherry, pineapple, and tomato.
PS - The big moth you got hit by was a Large Yellow Underwing. They're very common, huge, and do indeed bomb things. Right now is their season.

I thought I might catch someone on here for the night shift.
Robo hamster got out of it's cage some how and the cat brought it up to our bed.
I was able to catch it and put it back in it's cage. (Miraculously the cat didn't hurt it)
But now I am awake, and can't fall back asleep!
