White Peacock has been hanging out, too.

Saw some Phaeon Crescents but couldn't get a picture. By the way, when I started volunteering at MOSI, Kristen (my boss) and I got into a discussion about whose stinkhorns (osmeterium) were the smelliest. I voted Zebra ST and she voted Spicebush ST. I hadn't raised any Spicebushes so I couldn't really say. However, I just had my Spicebush cat stinkhorn me and OH MY GOD!! It was FOUL! I completely concur that they are the stinkiest. Mom wasn't in the room at the time and Dad and I were gagging. Then, Mom walks in and says, "What smells?" I laughed and told her and we all voted that Spicebushes are the stinkiest. The thing is eating camphor so I'm like, "Shouldn't he smell like Vicks Vap-O-Rub?" If I was a predator I would be running away as fast as I could.
