Household vermin picture of the day
This morning, as the best and I went out the door, I spotted a large cranefly sitting on the doorframe. If craneflys could shiver, this one would have been doing it, but since flies are cold-blooded it didn't have the spare metabolic cycles needed to keep a shiver going.
When we came back from our saturday errands, the cranefly was sitting in exactly the same position, and it only moved when I leaned in really close to it and examined it for a while (and I think the only reason it moved was because it was warmed up by my breath. Boy, it's going to be an unhappy camper if it survives a couple more months and gets to experience the full wimpy-to-humans impact of a Portland winter.)
