Salt marsh moth



2024-09-01 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold.
Veronica writes, "This appears to be a Salt Marsh Moth. They prefer to be in open fields eating weeds. Be careful in handling these moths/caterpillars as those with sensitive skin may be prone to have rash and dermatitis from the hairs on this guy. Their caterpillar form is a wooly type guys...

I find the white and black stripes on the legs very interesting. The strupes reminds me of Zebras and the spots remind me of Dalmatians."

Letter: Quick response by city police on accident

Vicky Pike writes: What if there were no police to respond?

Saturday afternoon there was a pretty bad accident near the entrance of Walmart on Burkesville Road. I heard tires squealing. As I looked up two vehicles hit and were spinning under the stoplight. I grabbed my phone and dialed 911. After a few rings someone answers with, "what's your emergency?" I said, "two vehicles have hit at high speed in front of Walmart." They asked was anyone hurt but I had to tell them I'm not sure, I'm in my front yard.

Immediately people began jumping from their vehicles and running toward the cars. One door was pretty well smashed in but several got hold and were able to pry the door open to check on the driver. Now this is why Im writing about this -- What if there were hadn't been police to respond?
