WEIRD PEPPERED MOTH

FROM THE LATEST ENTOMOLOGICAL LIVESTOCK GROUP NEWSLETTER:



Dear Ed.,


I thought members may be interested in a male peppered moth I caught in my garden in June. Has anyone else ever come across one like it before?

NEIL ARNOLD WRITES: Who let the dogman out?

Hi guys,

I recorded Richard a Dogman docu a while back and came across this new link of the footage via Nick Redfern. Any ideas? It's quite creepy and the original footage I sent Rich has been cleaned up a lot here. I think it's a hoax simply because the way it's filmed, especially with the ending. Also, check out the photo on the link of the 'Bigfoot' said to be holding a small dog.

RICHARD FREEMAN WRITES: The photos look like a costume but the film looks real. At first I thought it might be a black bear, but the animal seems to have ears that are too long and floppy. It might be a big dog like a Newfoundland, or a Newfoundland crossed with a rottweiler. The only think that gives me pause (paws?) for thought is the thickness of the creature's legs - they do seem a little chunky even for a big dog. Of course, the creature does not 'change form' as it runs towards the camera. It's a very interesting film. Of course it could be a guy calling over his big dog, and getting it to jump up and mouth the camera.

NAOMI WEST: Lampasas Land Monster

A recent discovery has been made in Lampasas County, Texas: a large land monster is said to inhabit an open field to the left of Highway 190 West.

Richie and I were fortunate enough to spot this monster on our way to Austin three days ago.

We immediately pulled off the road to take her picture before she could vanish. Amazingly, we succeeded in capturing two very clear shots of her, but the pictures have been met with skepticism, including the typical “Photoshop” allegation.



Out of deference to the Loch Ness Monster, Richie refers to the Lampasas Land Monster as “Lessie.” True to our photo, Lessie has been reported as having the appearance of a rust-colored serpent with a seahorse-shaped head and emerald green eyes. She has been seen by a surprising number of residents and commuters, and one lady even claims to have walked up and touched her. There is much speculation as to what she could be, the two most popular theories being:

1) an evolved species of sea serpent that adapted when the ocean disappeared from Central Texas, or
2) a carefully constructed formation of bulldozer tracks.

Eyewitness reports indicate that Lessie frequents the same general
area of the field, and tends to remain remarkably still during
sightings. They say the best chances of spotting her are when the
grass is mowed.
