Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:38:17 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Miller moths are swarming through the Front Range as they migrate to the mountains in search of food, pollinating plants along the way.They fly at night, mostly in the early evening, when they are seen circling around lamps and fluttering toward lights. But where do the miller moths go during the day? Miller moths are here, and ‘they’re everywhere!’ Miller moths are nocturnal and usually like to find dark places to rest during the day, according to experts at the Butterfly Pavilion. They said the moths might be spotted during the day because they may not be in a place where they feel comfortable enough to rest.Whitney Cranshaw, an entomology professor at Colorado State University, told FOX31 that this particular moth "commonly finds cover in crevices, which may include locations such as along window molding, doors, areas of vehicles."In their search for a dark resting place they sometimes end up in buildings and vehicles, but Cranshaw said she has sometimes seen m...

Mets pitching options before 2023 trade deadline

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:38:17 GMT

Memorial Day marks the unofficial date when baseball fans can start checking the standings. The Mets survived a bumpy few weeks and have sparked a winning streak, reeling off five straight against the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians. They head into a six-game road trip with a chance to make up more ground against the Chicago Cubs and the Colorado Rockies.However, the Mets have played 48 games and only three times has a pitcher gotten through seven innings. Justin Verlander has done it twice, throwing eight innings Sunday against the Guardians to give the bullpen a much-needed reprieve before a day off. The team’s most pressing issue is starting pitching, with the club having burned through all of the depth way back in April and a staff that routinely fails to go deep into games.Mets starters have posted a 5.09 ERA, which ranks 25th in the league. The 238 and 2/3 innings pitched is the 10th fewest in baseball. The bullpen has had to pick up a lot of work and it has p...
