Here is an imperial moth (Eacles imperialis) on the front window of Liberty National Bank on Monday morning.
It is the second species of a large moth found at the bank in the past month.
One wonders why such large moths, rarely seen around here, take to the the bank window.
Perhaps, the old saying is true: He who is careful with his money sees moths fly out when he opens his wallet. This imperial moth, in shades of brown and yellow, has a 4-inch wingspan. The imperial moth is on decline in the U.S.

The photos show Ada in 1913. You'll see water cover Main Street, Gilbert Street and a couple streets that maybe you can identify.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - An Icon viewer confirmed rumors floating around that fresh-water sharks have, in fact, entered the Riley Creek stream system.
Earlier this week, the Icon obtained this photo sent by Tricia Burkholder from her cell phone with the proof.
"I spotted this on my way home from my mom's house. As we drove across the bridge by Buckeye Lake, we spotted a shark swimming in the Riley Creek," she informed the Icon.
Several unconfirmed sightings of large creatures with fins in the Riley have, up to this point, been poo-pooed.
