Could this be a Peppered Moth / Biston betularia?

            Adding another five images from my archives.  If I wrote a description under a previously posted photo taken on the same day, I will add it under this morning's posts.

Winter returned, but it is now a sunny Spring day!  More snow is forecast for the next two days, though, adding to the snow that is already on the ground.  Can't go anywhere, anyway, as excruciating pain that may be caused by the sciatic nerve (?) or bursitis (?) on the right side of my body is making it almost impossible to walk even a few steps indoors.  One thing after another after another after another ....  Last time I went out was 22 February.  

"On 26 July 2008, I was lucky enough to be invited to go with three friends to the mountains in Kananaskis for the whole day.  The University of Calgary had a Biogeoscience Open House at their Field Station near Barrier Lake.  

The weather was absolutely perfect, until we drove home and the sky blackened quickly.  We viewed the various exhibits at the centre and thoroughly enjoyed (was it really THREE times?) the fresh fruit salad, pastries and coffee.  This moth was seen resting on one of the outside walls.

Afterwards, we went for a botany walk in the area, including through the woods that edge Barrier Lake and the various plants were recorded.  A blue fungus was discovered there - we've never seen anything like it before!  Probably Hydnellum caeruleum."
