Crape-murtle (S1) has leaves. Has for a while. Seems to have made its fruit, whatever you would call it.

Black moth; yellow dots on both sets of wings. First set had one on each side, the second two longer ones. -- UPDATE: Sep 15, 2020: Grape leaffolder moth -- Fluttering dying moth. Orange-like color. Do not remember anything else. First recorded glowing firefly sighting; flying. One hollyhock blooming; outside, garden bin.
You may have noticed I have not been submitting very good posts. That is probably because I am not getting very good information on any of my subject matter; and it's May, so that should probably be fixed. I am going to start carrying some sort of note-taking device around to take notes of things, and then, at the end of the day, or at the beginning of the next day, post my notes here. I will probably also keep some draft posts on all of the species and things. That way there should actually be some blogging going on. (: Will post tomorrow (Don't forget! I'll kill you, myself!)!
The lemons rot. The space shuttle experiments fail. The Earth is empty. There are no blog posts. For an entire week there have been no blog posts. Why? Perhaps chemistry and economics; especially economics, when you put off reading that chapter about Malthus and Ricardo for a week. That we can blame on having to have had to do everything else. That sentence made no sense. And now, those lemons I put out practically years ago have attracted no visible orioles... yes, maybe invisible orioles. Immaterial orioles. The oranges which were scavenged up from somewhere also disappeared. A case of tragic invisiblity transfer from orioles to oranges. A cardboard space shuttle sits in its closet. We can blame a little bit of not blogging on it (I thought we hadn't done any tests since May 10th?). The testing for the launching materials has ended in the discovery that, at this point, the proportions are perfect and the bottle type is wrong. More on that once I finish the project. That will also be in the random category, hopefully accompanied by a plant or something. What else? Barns be built, buntings be displeased by my existence, and so on. At any rate, there haven't been any posts for this week! I'll try tomorrow. The spirit of procrastination is strong with this one.
(Entry #5) Well, so that break was a little longer than expected. There were tests and building projects and all sorts of stuff. But in the meantime, my assistant photographer Emily has got some pictures of the beautiful ruby-throated hummingbird! Obviously they are hummingbirds, Trochilidae. They are also ruby-throated and black-chinned hummingbirds, the genus Archilocus. And their species name is Archilocus colubris. Most ruby-throated hummingbirds have ruby throats, but some actually have black throats, which is important. The above picture is an example. They are small, cute, green birds, with a little bit of white under their throats. They are supposed to be sexually dimorphic, but right now I have once again already gone right into this hummingbird before actually studying them very well. And don't forget the long narrow beak.
