Flatrocks Gallery at 77 Langsford St., Gloucester, MA, will be hosting “Interpretations of Form”, from July 26 to Aug. 19. Curated by Pat Lowery Collins and Joreen White, it features the work of Barbara Moody, Joy Halsted, Joyce Audy Zarins, Pat Lowery Collins, and Joreen White. The opening is Saturday, July 28 from 4-6 p.m. Gallery Hours are Thursday through Sunday, 12-5 p.m. Tel. 978-879-4685
The artists in this exhibit have chosen to interpret form – human form, animal form, form in the landscape – with the use of such diverse mediums as oil, acrylic, pastel, and bronze and by using a variety of approaches. While one artist may choose to deliver a message, another may seek to elicit an emotion and another to suggest the sublime. All have honed their skills over many years, and a selection of each one’s work will be on display.
“Dance like no one is Whale Watching”
July 28 8pm to 12am and Sunday July 29 5pm
MAGMA 11 Pleasant St Gloucester Ma.

MORE WINGED BEAUTIES!
Reader Biranne writes,
Hi Kim, I have seen Monarchs in my yard but only managed to capture this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Pretty blue & orange tail! Brianne 
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
This gorgeous moth was photographed by one of our readers and she wrote to ask what species? We have here a male Polyphemus Moth, a member of the Family Saturnidae (Wild Silk Moths). Polyphemus moths are widely distributed throughout Massachusetts but we rarely see them because they fly at night and because their life as an adult is so brief. This giant beauty is only on the wing for about two weeks, spending most of its life in trees in the caterpillar and cocoon stages. The caterpillars eat a wide variety of trees and shrubs including maple (Acer), and birch (Betula), oak (Quercus), and willow (Salix).
Like nearly all members of our Wild Silk Moth family, they are in sharp decline, mostly because of the pesticides people spray their trees to rid them of non-native invasive moths, and because of the tachnid fly, which was introduced to control Gypsy Moths, a biological control gone terribly wrong.
