After emptying the kitchen scraps bucket, after dark, I returned past the bamboo hedges, and discovered this beauty in the bucket, probably having fallen from the bamboo as I brushed past. I see so few of them these days. This is disturbing. What’s going on in addition to pesticide usage? I read Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent Spring’ in the late ‘60’s, while still a boy, and she foretold what we have an ominous taste of these days.
