Field guide No. 689

In a dusty attic a single amber sunbeam slants down through the dark, and the moths flying through it have eaten round, scalloped holes in it. The rest of the room was already dark, so it is hard to tell what they want.

Moths biting an amber sunbeam

Light, with bites taken out.

In a dusty attic a single amber sunbeam slants down through the dark, and the moths flying through it have eaten round, scalloped holes in it. The rest of the room was already dark, so it is hard to tell what they want.

Field noteMoths eat wool. These eat light, and the beam keeps the bite marks as if it were cloth.
