Here are four visitors to our house this week. It's the first time I've seen this wee native moth species, Crypsitricha mesotypa.

I just checked and I'm now up to 101 species, mostly insects, that I've found and photographed inside our house.

I was thinking this evening about how our home, of two working biologists, is not quite a normal home.

Some evidence:

1) Boxes of electronic gadgets on the floor (in this case AudioMoth audio recorders for bird monitoring).

2) Office drawers containing drying pinned moths.

3) *Lots* of recently recharged batteries to drive assorted gadgets, currently lying on our hallway floor.

4) Bookshelves of mostly nonfiction books.

The intersection of Nieuwe Herengracht and Entrepotdok is located in Amsterdam’s Plantage district, a neighborhood with a strong historical and cultural character. 🏛️

Nieuwe Herengracht, part of the city’s famous canal system, extends from the Herengracht and runs between the Amstel River and the Scharrebiersluis near Entrepotdok. Built in 1️⃣6️⃣5️⃣8️⃣, it marks the eastern edge of the canal belt. ⛵️

At this junction, several bridges help connect different parts of the neighborhood. The “Walter Süskind Bridge” (no. 237) links Nieuwe Herengracht to the Weesperzijde, serving as a key crossing for both pedestrians and cyclists. Nearby, the “M.S. Vaz Dias Bridge” (no. 238) and the “Hortus Bridge” (no. 239) also play an important role in keeping the area well connected. 🌁
