A couple of things I learned today

There is a moth called a Setaceous Hebrew Character after the Hebrew nun letter on its wings. It eats lobelia, among other things.

A derecho 'is a widespread and long-lived, violent convectively induced straight-line windstorm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms in the form of a squall line usually taking the form of a bow echo.' I found this out because the storm system that knocked out so much power last night was described as a derecho.
