Nearby are two fireflies and a luna moth. This scene allows us to peek into a normally hidden place and see a scene of tender, protected slumber and the delicate wonder of nighttime insects in the trees. It helps remind me that when the world feels harsh, especially politically, that tenderness still has a natural place within us and within the ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image5680_ad4cc1-fa .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5680_ad4cc1-fa\"><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-scaled.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2062\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"An American red squirrel sleeping in a drey nestled in an eastern white pine, nearby are two fireflies and a luna moth.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-scaled.jpg 2062w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-825x1024.jpg 825w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-768x953.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-1237x1536.jpg 1237w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-1650x2048.jpg 1650w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-105x130.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-317x394.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-423x525.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-634x787.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-846x1050.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-951x1181.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/spire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/254\/2026\/04\/Night-Vision_2025F-1268x1574.jpg 1268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,2062px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dylan Moore \u00a0 I&#8217;m an illustrator, graphic designer and lover of Maine native plants and landscapes.
