Rabid fox bites Summerfield resident
Summerfield resident Charles McClintock, who lives near Town Hall at the corner of N.C. 150 and Summerfield Road, was attacked by a red fox this past Saturday morning. “I was smoking BBQ overnight (Friday) and I went outside early Saturday morning about 5:45 am to check my smoker,” McClintock told the Northwest Observer this week. “While outside, a fox came out from under my deck and walked within feet of me, then made its way to the woods. About 9 am I left my house and returned about 45 minutes later; when I got out of my truck a fox ran out from under my wife’s car and attacked my right leg. I swung and shook my leg for several minutes until I was able to break its jaw and knock it out on the post of the deck, but it was still breathing. I was then able to get to my gun and shoot it.

Passion Flower & Ailanthus Webworm Moth
Recently, when it was overcast and windy, we snapped this photo in an open field in northwest Greensboro. While it is grainy, it captures a little Greensboro flora and fauna at its showiest. The passion flower was in full bloom. That corona is breathtaking. The plant can exude a sticky fluid which traps insects. We're not sure if that is what is happening to that moth. It is an ailanthus webworm moth. It has the coloration of a monarch butterfly and actually likes milkweed, just like the monarch does. They are found from New York to Florida, although we haven't seen one before. But then, it isn't every day that we zoom in at the macro level where subjects are showcased larger than life. Indeed, this bug was hiding in plain sight. Passion flowers are edible; however, we couldn't bring ourselves to pick any.
