The First Of Eight Insects Well Known To Midwestern Children
ATTIC MOTH (collectica nostalgius)
Audio Clip from Helmut Von Krausberg’s little known documentary A Storage Story: The Attics of Covington, Indiana:
The attic moth is one of the few insects that shuns metamorphosis. At birth, it is fully formed. Notice its wings as it struggles out of the egg. They are transparent – but this will not last long. Like reflecting pools fraught with memory, these incredible wings replicate and store flawless visual images. Now watch - as the moth approaches a previously stored locale, its wings will detail the area as it was last seen.
Natural Enemies: Sunlight, moth balls, zealous housewives.
