season: late-fall
section: what is crawling

- ladybugs clustering on the south side of the house, looking for cracks. let them in if you can stand it.
- stink bugs inside now. do not crush them, the name is earned.
- the last moths at the porch light. fewer every night.
- spiders moving indoors. most are harmless. the brown recluse is not. learn the difference.
- everything else is burrowing, cocooning, or dying. the quiet is coming.
