Here’s the famous Luna Moth (Actias luna)! One of my absolute favorites!
I was pretty surprised to find so many of these flying around, I must have found at least 7 during the weekend I was there. Sadly they are attracted to the well lit area and tend to stick around until morning which is when birds and other predators will come out and eat them.

“Living in a city, I use my bike as means of transit, riding from home to work, work to studio, errands, etc. When I ride at night, I am often concerned if other vehicles/people on the road can see my hand signals when I am about to turn. To make my night rides safer, I decided to build a turn signal system for my bike!
The following instructable will go over how to use a 555 timer to flash an array of LEDs, and how to mount LEDs in an acrylic panel, and cast it in resin.”
Existential Love
I am going to disclose to you a warrior’s secret. Perhaps you can call it a warrior’s predilection. The life of a warrior cannot possibly be cold and lonely and without feelings because it is based on his affection, his devotion, his dedication to his beloved. And who, you ask, is his beloved? I will show you now.
His love is the world. He embraces this enormous earth. The earth knows that he loves it and it bestows on him its care. That’s why his life is filled to the brim and his state, wherever he’ll be, will be plentiful. He roams on the paths of his love and, wherever he is, he is complete.
This is the predilection of a warrior. This earth, this world. For a warrior there can be no greater love. Only if one loves this earth with unbending passion can one release one’s sadness. A warrior is always joyful because his love is unalterable and his beloved, the earth, embraces him and bestows upon him inconceivable gifts. The sadness belongs only to those who hate the very thing that gives shelter to their beings.

Wildfires ravage huge expanses of south-western US
Wildfires have destroyed a vast area of the Gila National Forest in New Mexico and have raged out of control in other parts of the south-west, including Arizona, Nevada and parts of California. Super-sized and highly destructive wildfires have become a regular occurrence in America, especially in the south-west, because of drought, climate change and human interference with the natural landscape. Fires combined in New Mexico to create the largest wildfire in the state’s history. [image via guardian.co.uk]

World Naked Bike Ride in McAllen THIS Saturday (9th)! →
We are riders of South Texas. People that willingly travel the scorched roads of the RGV, looking to change the way we transport ourselves as a society one wheel at a time. Societal change will not occur within this precious little time we have unless we stand in solidarity and move with direction!
Why ride naked you ask?
When ANY bicyclist hits the road, he or she is quite metaphorically naked. No amount of self safety training or practice will completely protect and prepare you for a road system that is suited specifically and primarily for motor vehicles. Riding naked is an effective way of demonstrating that as bicyclists we are exposed to all automobiles and must be seen! When you ride your bike naked, you are promoting a safer cycling environment for all.
How many of you have ever felt like you’re just not respected on the road? How about even seen?! Well when you join us this upcoming Saturday, be prepared to do some body paint, slogans, banners, flags, anything! Can’t see me before? Now you do! Spread the word to all!
Rules & Stuff:
This ride will be a “bare-as-you-dare” event. Keep in mind, as a bicyclist you are not required to carry personal ID. Your personal safety is our top priority, and at no time will we be exposing ourselves to incite disgust, or be obscene. This is a movement created to liberate ourselves and demand equality as self-propelled vehicles!
