Uninvited Guest

according to James Joyce & friends

OLYMPICS brass turned off Stadium Australia's floodlights at night last week to disperse the swarms, but it took only one bogong to upstage opera singer Yvonne Kenny at the Closing Ceremony.

The large moth halted its spring migration south to settle on the front of Kenny's cerise dress as she belted out the Olympic Anthem as the Olympic flag was lowered.
