Maybe place a net over the area and catch this thing?
Or keep spraying pesticides all over your porch and enjoy the carcinogens to come.

A high-school friend of mine’s “back porch problem” in Kansas used to be wandering cows.

Looking at that porch it looks like a net would be incredibly easy, and a whole lot cheaper than fully enclosing.

Definitely looks like a moth. You can see when it hits the window it actually “dusts” the glass with some of it’s powdery scales.

They can’t really turn on a dime though and do a 180 degree turn, like it seems this thing did. I get them at the cottage (and damn, they are cute, but no so much in the bedroom walls, but I digress). They glide, they don’t flap, and although they can change direction, not as much as this thing.

If it’s something like a luna moth, they only live about a week, so by the time they get the contractor out, it’ll likely be dead.

It’s kind of remarkable how, after all these years of DDT, Roundup and their ilk, people still think that these poisons are so specially formulated to affect only the target population.

I used to live in Oklahoma City. The male anchor in that piece is Kevin Ogle. The Ogle family is an institution in television journalism in OKC. The reporter in the piece is his daughter. I think at one time, only one major Oklahoma City news outlet was without an Ogle.

It would be a lot cheaper, and probably more interesting, if she just propped open the door and invited the visitor in.

Even though her wings were battered and her body was bruised and bleeding, as she had for so many nights, the Fairy Queen hurled herself again and again against the impenetrable enchanted walls of the fortress of the evil witch, Carol Dillin…
