So long as he doesn't use "espew" we should be fine.

No, no...that's what you do if you have mouth parts and go to McD's.

Oops...you're right. But I actually would do it more if I went to Taco Bell, but it's the same general effect. You most assuredly would espy me espewing if I weren't able to escape the establishment before dinner was...um...eserved.

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

How long do they live for? A couple of days?
I saw a variety of Hawk moth on the living room wall in a friends' house last year. They are are our biggest moths. It was getting on for the size of the palm of your hand. :o

They can live about a week.

Here's one on somebody's hand:

I like that luna moth, and would like to espy one myself. Also, I must confess, despite my above infraction of the Pepsi rule, that I also occasionally use the McD's drive-thru--primarily for Coke. I acknowledge that Coke has no known health benefits.

Isn't this true of other insects, like male skeeters?

They're most common close to the East Coast; I don't know if they get west of the Mississippi at all.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Male mosquitoes feed peacefully on nectar from flowers. It's only the females that are bloodthirsty and agressive.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Some do, at least. I live on the Mississippi's West bank (not the West Bank district - different animal), and I've seen a couple. Probably manage to take the bridges...

They do! I'm sure of it.

They range to the Great Plains (eastern Oklahoma, where I dwell, is not part of the Great Plains).
