Amphipoea oculea, the ear moth, is a moth in the family Noctuidae, with a wingspan of 29 to 34 millimetres (1.1 to 1.3 inches). Its range includes southern England, where it is widespread and common, as well as Ireland and continental Europe, with the exception of Albania, Greece and Turkey. Adults are found from June to September depending on the location, with one generation occurring per year. At night the moths come to light and flowers, seeking honeydew and sugar. During the day they feed at the flowers of thistles and ragwort. This female A. oculea moth was photographed feeding on field scabious in Keila, Estonia. The photograph was focus-stacked from 22 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

ViP

Thanks for pulling that bogus report off ViP. I should've been watching to see if he'd reinstate it but forgot to check up. That Rebroad's a troubling one.... Very Verily 06:15, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

He certainly is. He recently reverted an article he had never edited before (at least not under that account) to a version nearly a month old... His explanation was rather curious as well, suggesting it had been "counter-concensus", despite it having been edited and agreed upon in the talk by at least 3 editers during that month... Stuff like that suggests to me that either that isn't his only account, or that he's getting some strange ideas from somewhere... Anyhow, despite the controversy you've had, I've found you to be a NPOV advocate, and am very glad to have you here on the wikipedia. Cheers, 10:28, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you very much for the helpful links!

Haven't fogotten

In case you've been wondering, I (Juan) haven't fogotten. Life's still been busy, though- finals week. That will be over, then I'm in Mexico for a week, then I'm back. This weekend, with any luck, I'm launching a site with a new political model I am proposing. I think you will find it interesting. Juan Ponderas 05:31, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thats pretty cool, everybody I know would like to be in Mexico for a week, especially here in Germany! Hope you have a good time, and my best wishes w your finals. Cheers, [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade Wants you to vote!]] 10:40, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Too bad I can't vote

Too bad I can't vote, I won't have 3 months until Dec. 30. Good luck.--Silverback 13:23, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I donno if I like the 3 months thing, but I understand the general idea of trying to rule out sockpuppets and all... some people have long term sockpuppets tho! Sam Spade Wants you to vote! 13:43, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
