The curiousity of little mind

There's never been a more fun time before our little boy than to tear apart and re-build our train track over and over again. Geo-track trains and a track have so many different designs its almost endless. The parts are all snapped together sometimes Jarred takes it on his own to unbuild and build a new track. His creative little mind is always spinning out some kind of design that's different and his at that age where every answer to every question is imprinted into that little mind.

Thunder

I read somewhere about thunderstorm that when you see lighting, it has already missed you. But when you hear thunder the show is over which means the noise is just the audience rushing for the exits. It is funny but the roar of thunder still makes me rush inside and seek the protection of the house. This was happened this morning when Jarred and I went out so he can play in the yard while I was weed whacking. Its very sunny then about ten minutes later the clouds went darker and we heard the thunder so immediately we run inside. The loud thunder scared the heck out of us! (lol)

Outdoor chaise lounges

Lounging outside is never been comfortable these days with all the different designs. If you talk about comfort I'd like to put some of them inside in my living room. I've tried a lot of different outdoor chaise lounges over the years, I like the wicker chairs comfortability the best. When my mom and dad come over for a cook out the only problem is trying to get dad out of my chair. After he eats it's nap time usually about two hours later I get to use my chair again. Oh well it's only couple of weekends I guess I just have to buy another for him. :-)

Lunar Moth

Have you seen a real and alive glow in the dark lunar moth? We did! We saw a green lunar moth just outside our door, one is hanging out by the lightbulb casing and the other one below it seems holding on tight on our siding.

Mystified by this wonderful sight, I searched for its origin and this is what I learned from the Wikipedia.

The Luna Moth (Actias luna) is a lime-green, Nearctic Saturniid moth in the subfamily Saturniinae. This moth is found in North America from east of the Great Plains in the United States to northern Mexico and from Manitoba eastward through central Quebec to Nova Scotia in Canada. Based on the climate in which they live, the Luna moths produce differing numbers of generations. In Canada and northern regions, they can live up to 7 days and will produce only one generation per year. These reach adulthood from early June to early July. In the northeastern United States around New Jersey or New York, the moths produce two generations each year. The first of these appear in April and May, and the second group can be seen approximately nine to eleven weeks later. In the southern United States, there can be as many as three generations. These are spaced every eight to ten weeks beginning in March.

Female Luna moths lay 100–300 eggs, 4–7 eggs at a time, on the underside of leaves, and they incubate for eight to thirteen days, depending on climate. It will lay more eggs in a better climate.

Each instar generally takes about five days to a week to complete. After hatching, the caterpillars tend to wander around before finally settling on eating the particular plant they are on. These caterpillars tend to be gregarious for the first two to three instars, but separate and live independently after that. As with all Saturniids, these caterpillars go through five instars before cocooning. At the end of each instar, a small amount of silk is placed on the major vein of a leaf and undergoes apolysis. The caterpillar then undergoes ecdysis, or molts from that position leaving the old exoskeleton behind. Sometimes the shed exoskeleton is eaten. Each instar is green, though the first two instars do have some variation in which some caterpillars will have black underlying splotches on their dorsal side. Variation after the second instar is still noticeable, but slight. The dots that run along the dorsal side of the caterpillars vary from a light yellow to a dark magenta. The final instar grows to approximately nine centimeters in length.

The luna moth pupates after spinning a cocoon. The cocoon is thin and single layered. Shortly before pupation, the final, fifth instar caterpillar will engage in a "gut dump" where any excess water and fluids are expelled. The caterpillar will also have an underlying golden reddish brown color and become somewhat immobile. As pupa, this species is particularly active. When disturbed, the moth will wiggle loudly. Pupation takes approximately two weeks unless the individual is diapausing. The mechanisms for diapause are generally a mixture of genetic triggers, duration of sunlight or direct light during the day, and temperature.

Adults eclose, or emerge from their cocoons in the morning. Their wings are very small when they first emerge and they must enlarge them by pumping bodily fluids through them. During this time, their wings will be soft and they must climb somewhere safe to wait for their wings to harden before they can fly away. This process takes about 2 hours to complete. The Luna moth has a wingspan of between 8–11.5 cm (3-4.5 in) with long, tapering hindwings, which have eyespots on them in order to confuse potential predators. Although rarely seen due to their very brief (1 week) adult lives, Luna moths are considered common. As with all Saturniidae, the adults do not eat or have mouths. They emerge as adults solely to mate, and as such, only live approximately one week. They are more commonly seen at night.

Philippine Independence Flag

I grab this tag from my "Kababayan" Fe and now I am passing this to all the filipino bloggers around the world. Let's celebrate the freedom that we are all enjoying.

PHILIPPINE 111TH INDEPENDENCE DAY

"The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in the Philippines, where Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo (later to become the Philippines' first Republican President) proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain after the latter was defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. The declaration, in the form of a proclamation, in the presence of a huge crowd, was done on June 12, 1898 at the ancestral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo between four and five in the afternoon in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, some 30 kilometers South of Manila. The event saw the unfurling of the National Flag of the Philippines, made in Hong Kong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herboza, and the performance of the Marcha Filipina Magdalo, as the Nation's National Anthem, now known as Lupang Hinirang, which was composed by Julian Felipe and played by the San Francisco de Malabon Marching band."
