Yesterday morning I went up Goat Mountain for a little look see and saw a pretty amazing capture. A large (4-5 inch wingspan) sphinx moth was caught on a long spider web that stretched probably 12 feet between two trees. It was still alive and tried to fly away a few times, attracting the attention of a monarch butterfly. Also pictured below are a baby lizard that was on our front steps and a lensbaby photo of the town of Grand Case.

Also, the goat skull I retrieved a couple days ago was missing from our balcony last night. Were the staff concerned about Obeah (the local voodoo-type religion)? No, it just got blown off the balcony by the wind.
