The Art of Camouflage

When I first discovered this wood moth it was not hiding very well; the little guy was perched on my cream-colored blanket hanging on the line. I moved him to the garden where, as you can see, he disappeared in an instant! I hung around until he made the "twig" move again (which is much more convincing on bark then posing as a twig on a blanket).

    I spent most of the 1980s and 90s in Alaska
    flying airplanes, floating wild rivers, winter camping, raising a wild child, and living off the grid :^)

    With my MAT in Advanced Inquiry for Biological Sciences, I've taught K-12 students from north of the Arctic Circle to the Puget Sound Ecoregion, garnering over thirty years experience as a classroom teacher, learning mentor, and private tutor.

    Here in Seattle, I am an advocate for environmental stewardship, place-based education, and outdoor play. I share my enthusiasm for birds, bugs, and backyards as a writer/photographer for Pacific Horticulture.
