Beautiful to behold with elegantly patterened grey, red and black spotted wings, they are native to China, Vietnam and Bangladesh and were first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014 in Berks County. Since then, the species has spread to 34 Pennsylvania counties and this summer rampaged through through New Jersey on their way to New York.

If the BICEP2 team’s 2014 detection of gravitational waves had turned out to be correct, would that have convinced you of inflation? I consider cosmology a good example of how natural science is done because it is relatively simple compared, say, to quantum physics. It’s different for one reason: it is my personal experience.
