To my #SecretSantaNZ2022 gift provider. You have bowled me over with abundance and thoughtfulness. I love #abstractionism, #coffee, delicious smelling soaps, and the lovely @pepperraccoon #puririMoth pin makes it all 100% awesome. Excuse me, there’s something in my eye. The color coordination is charming. Thank you.

I was out with the Waikanae Scouts tonight teaching a weeding session and one of the leaders found this pūriri moth in the trunk of a pūriri tree which got stuck in its cacoon and subsequently died.
