Large nets around the trees both slow their fall and bring in food, sails collect dust to grow crops in, some colonies trail entire orchards

For them, it made actual sense to swarm around lights. Gas lamps were a critical food source, leaked just enough to feed a moth for the day.

Prank I’ve actually pulled off: 1. make coffee 2. add food colouring 3. serve coffee 4. watch in amusement as victims add milk

Its usage in fridges settled the question once and for all: Yes, the light is on when the door is closed.↵Forgotten food in primary colors.

Why?
While visiting South today I found, once again, this quote that I like so much:

During their first winter everything was a mess: they had no food (they got there too late and winter made things more difficult), and without it, half of their settled colony died from diseases. … ⌘ Read more
