Invasion of Moths

No almost-obligatory post-election discussion here...like my comment to someone, my main position is primarily a kneeling one... But now we know where all the pesky moths have been coming from. A few days ago our kitchen and various rooms in the house were suddenly infested with those little creatures. All my grains are either in the freezer or tightly secured in their bins so I was puzzled. And not a bit upset and alarmed. But most of all I was curious. Then Josh casually commented just now that his plastic not-tightly-shut rice bin (his indoor 'sand-box') sure looked like it had a lot of moths in there. I took a look at it and eureka! Somehow a moth had laid her beloved eggs in the plastic bin one day and we were now entertaining her lively off-springs. I just left the box with the lid opened in the porch. I will have to dump all that rice tomorrow. It's about time I replace it anyway. Tomorrow morning we're going to spend some time learning more about these pesky moths and their life cycle and how we can prevent another such episode. Another adventure in learning. :) Ah, isn't homeschooling great? |
