The weather was partly sunny and warm as six volunteers completed this week's survey. While most moths' response to predators involves simply flying away, some have another defense: producing a smelly liquid from a pair of glands on their prothorax. The droplets are visible on the Yellow-winged Pareuchaetes shown below.
