Silvery Y
September 28, 2009
…which sounds like the title of a notional Sonic Youth tune, maybe an out-take from Daydream Nation, but which is in fact a moth…
This one was trapped in S’s bedroom for a while and became “my moth”.
It transpires that there are several British species of moth named for a y on their wings. I wonder if they all have those odd protuberances too.
Here’s a bit of Sonic Youth (from Daydream Nation)…just in case you’re curious. Give it a minute and a half – then it kicks off…
The original youtube page is here.

I have never noticed these before… I will keep my eye open… but as for the music…. ha! I’ll keep my ears shut ;O)
