	Common Swift - Apus Apus
		Swifts were seen in South Wales in the United Kingdom (UK) several times between 2nd October and 17th November 1882, and several were seen in the period up to 12th November 1957 in Malmö and Lund in Sweden.
		In Holland a Swift was killed by a tennis ball, and in Thuringia, Germany, fire fighters released a trapped Swift from a hole in a wall.
		Swifts usually return to the area where they were born to breed, and from ringing recoveries it has been established that in two cases, chicks from a specific nest returned there as adults to breed some years later.

		She worked as a volunteer at the Common Swift Rescue Centre in Frankfurt am Main, (supported by the German Society for the Common Swift), where over several years she reared hundreds of young Swifts.
		Swifts are best kept in a half-open plastic box, a minimum of 30 cm long, 20 cm broad and 15 cm high.
		All of the hand-raised Swifts are ringed with a number, and this bird was noted by ornithologists when it was searching for a nesting place.

	Swift
		Suddenly she realized that they were inside the vineyard walls, for fragrance assailed her nostrils, fragrance of ripened grapes, of grapes crushed under foot as the swift pickers went snipping the full purple bunches with their shears.
		Father Jean would steal a swift glance at her from under his shaggy eyebrows and fall into a silence.
		That was the essential thing about him as regards his relations with his fellow-traveller, though, when next morning the spires of Cologne and the swift river of his Fatherland came into sight, he burst out into a sort of rhapsody of patriotism that mockingly covered a great sincerity.

		Their distinctively shaped brown pupal cases are often seen at this time of year, sticking up from the larval tunnel, the only indication most of us have that swift moths are about.
		Most of the local swifts are various shades of brown with sometimes striking markings of fl, white and silver.
		The Splendid Ghost moth of northern Australia is one of the most spectacular Hepialids with a pale blue male, a green and pink female and a wingspan of 250 mm.

	Australian Moth Larvae
		The common names of many moths are derived from the behaviour and appearance of their Caterpillars.
		Also, moth Caterpillars are often made conspicuous by the damage they do to plants, as the Caterpillars of many moth species are important agricultural pests.
		Even the moth families are usually referred to by derivatives of their scientific names in Australia.

	Swift - definition from Biology-Online.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In form and habits the swifts resemble swallows, but they are destitute of complex vocal muscles and are not singing birds, but belong to a widely different group allied to the humming birds.
		The common European swift (Cypselus, or Micropus, apus) nests in church steeples and under the tiles of roofs, and is noted for its rapid flight and shrill screams.
		The European alpine swift (Cypselus melba) is whitish beneath, with a white band across the breast.

	Stereophile: Meadowlark Swift loudspeaker
		The Swift's drivers are a 1" impregnated fabric-dome tweeter and a 4.5" bass/midrange unit with a plastic-coated pulp cone and dustcap, both drivers made by Vifa.
		Nevertheless, the Swift's greatest strength, it seems to me, was its ability to be driven at least reasonably well by only a few watts, yet still sound as timbrally neutral and spatially convincing as certain much less efficient—and more expensive—perfectionist loudspeakers.
		Viewed in that light, the Meadowlark Swift is a good all-arounder, and may in fact be an ideal choice for someone who's just getting into SETs but is leery of realizing huge efficiency gains by having to sacrifice areas of performance that are otherwise common to high-end loudspeakers.

	The Pikewing Moth
		In the case of a female moth attacking to defend her territory rather than to feed, she will be able to sense her opponent’s sensitive spots and likely attempt to injure the face, especially the eyes or throat.
		Young moths have a lot of difficulty finding good spots that are not yet occupied, and sometimes even grown moths will give up a spot to fight for another, better one.
		The female, who lies in wait nearby, will use this moment to deliver the unfortunate father-to-be a swift death, and use his body as a source of food while she is unable to hunt when guarding the eggs.

	Moth Heaven: February 2005
		When you discover something has moth damage, you should assume that it is infested, since the eggs are really hard to detect, and the larvae are very small before they've glutted themselves on your lovely alpaca handspun you bought at the Alpaca Farmers' open house last winter.
		Moths will eat through a plastic grocery in short order, and the heavy plastic zippered bags many of us favour don't breathe and traps moisture with the wool, and moths like moisture and the dark.
		Even moth balls, as loathsome as I find the smell, are probably only effective within a radius of a few feet; good for trunks and small closets, not so good for your walk-in.

	Stereophile: Moth Audio Cicada loudspeaker
		The Moth Audio Cicada is built around a 7" full-range, dual-cone driver with a small voice-coil gap, moderately large magnet assembly, and asymmetric mounting bolts.
		The Moth driver felt stiffer than the average Lowther, said stiffness appearing to come from the spider rather than from the foam surround, and the voice-coil gap appeared a bit bigger than I'm used to seeing in drivers of this type.
		That said, the Moth was perfectly well aligned and exhibited no sign of scraping (a common occurrence with Lowthers that pick up crud in their voice-coil gaps or have been damaged in shipping), although one Moth driver appeared to play very slightly louder than the other.

		The vast majority of moth species fly at night and are recorded by attracting them to an ultra-violet light (mercury-vapour 125 watt lamp) where they are identified.
		Several rare or scarce species have been identified, one of which, the Brown-veined Wainscot was a new species for the county.
		Of these nine species, seven rely on willow/sallow or on marginal aquatic vegetation for their larval food indicating the significance of the reserve.

	Sphinx Moth
		The moth ranges across most of North America from Mexico to central Canada; this species is most common in the western US.
		The Sphinx Moth is also called the Hawk Moth and the Hummingbird Moth because of its hovering, swift flight patterns.
		To meet its energy needs, the moth feeds exclusively on nectar and seeks flowers which contain high amounts of sugar (like members of the Primrose family, which the White-lined Sphinx Moth is responsible for pollinating).

		Once a moth is swallowed by a bat, it cannot warn its offspring.
		But now the little moth is falling for its life, and its only hope of safety is to suddenly drop to the ground.
		Using some of the techniques employed by the millions-of-dollars stealth plane, the tiger moth makes it to safety—as the bat heads off toward where he thought the return echo was coming from.
