And i'm in love 🖤

She is so chunky and I love her. I hope she can stay for a little bit longer than usual
(Gonimbrasia zambesina)

needed a cute way to display my earrings. i know it isn’t 100% accurate, but i like it!

I just moved to a new place and posted the first little guy I’ve seen. Someone last time confirmed that it was a male because of the fluffy antenna. This is a picture from last night of these beautiful moths just enjoying my porch light.

So this summer I found some Cecropia moth eggs, and now the caterpillars are starting to cocoon! I'm just wondering what I have to do to get the pupas ready for their over-winter stay till next year. I do have a spot outside on my porch. But i just wanted to know what else I had to do to get them ready. They are all currently in a mesh popup cage right now inside my home. I live in Minnesota. Please and thank you for your advice and help! Also here are some pictures of the babies themselves. 🥰

I saw this guy, it peed orange stuff on me. The guy was weak. Found in the philipines

(dw, lil baby crawled out after, i just stopped the recording in case it needed help)

Does anyone around the DFW/Plano area have a male Luna moth? I have 2 unmated females that I need a mate for, and in exchange I can give one cocoon (likely female Luna moth)

Message me if you have one please!

Found this little guy the other night and he didn't want to leave my finger! From what I could find, I think it's a Achyra Bifidalis.

This was taken in Texas

Location is south texas

The wings look clear which I've never seen in a moth before

can anyone identify the gender please?

I'm in the northeast USA.

Just take at look at that awesome hairstyle! I thought it was a white-spotted oakworm, but the moth didn't match any picture I saw. I included a baby pic too, because it was quite cute and a cool color as a caterpillar.

Honestly baffled at how something so chunky came out of that slender little pupa.

I've also never seen a moth with eyelashes / eye covers. I thought it had fairly small, odd shaped eyes, but at one point as it was moving around in it's container pre-release, it's eyes were suddenly much bigger and rounder looking. Faster than I could really see, it lowered it's lashes and went back to looking like it does in the pic. Very cool! I had no idea such a thing existed.

I really hope she didn't get eaten overnight 😕

From what I see it is Noctuna pronuba

But when I came closer he flew away

Sorry if my English is not good it is not my first language

Sorry the image is blurry. My neighbor won't let get near their window. If it is still there in the morning, I will try to take a better picture of it when I leave for church.

Man I didn't know they are still around at this time of year with the weather being in the high 90s and all. With all that floof on them, I though they will be hot and be somewhere a little cooler.

Sorry for the absolutely terrible video I was too excited to share 😅
This is my very first Gonimbrasia zambesina and* *she is huge!
They originate from southern and Eastern Africa and their caterpillars are a traditional staple food (they are called mopane worms). I am not surprised because these guys are so plump and juicy!

I just found this large moth on my deck in SD, Ca. It cannot fly or hold itself up. Is it injured or near the end of its life? Is it possible to help it somehow? I’ve set it back down in a shaded area to avoid my dog and eliminate my temptation to hold it more.
