Why I Always Walk With My Head Down...

because I sometimes see things like this little dude here.  From this angle he looks like some sort of cartoony sea creature who would no doubt speak in a very deep and possibly British voice.  180 your monitor and you can see that he is a moth.  A Polyphemus moth, to be exact.  Apparently, I was lucky to see him, as they live only for a few days.  Those few days are spent searching for mates, not food.  I'm guessing that this was near the end of his - I assume it's a he, just because he looks moustachioed - time on earth, because he was alone and not very energetic.
