A mistaken identify and a true rarity. A Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden responded to call about a chupacabras with a large snout and eyes on a road in Hockley County, Texas, Saturday evening. Turns out it was—again—an over-sized coyote with mange, according to the game warden. But over in Bellevue, Washington, last month, a University of Washington professor by chance found a massive insect: One of World’s Largest Moths With 10-Inch Wingspan Found in US For First Time, Officials Say. It was an atlas moth, a species that usually lives in the tropical parts of Asia. So what was it doing in Washington state? (PH)
