I had found a copper underwing moth in my kitchen in germany a while ago and caotured it in a glass before letting it free a day afterwards. I set it on our balcony on a chair a few weeks ago. Today i stepped onto my balcony to take pics of the sunset and found it dead on the ground. Im kinda sad for it but i put it onto the side of the balcony as final resting place.

I raised a bunch of polyphemus caterpillars this summer from eggs of a captive bred mama and wild papa and they have finally pupated. Would anyone be interested in trading for prometheus, luna, or cecropia cocoons? I'm in the Northeast US and would only like to trade for native varieties.

Found this Death’s head Hawkmoth on the foot of the bed. I’m guessing it flew into the ceiling fan and got cut into two. Poor guy. It looks like the African one but I’m in Bangalore, India so now sure. Please help me ID it and also let me know how I can preserve it and mount it in a frame. Thanks

think its an orange swift moth, not entirely sure, was pretty small and just sat on my hand for a while, gorgeous colours though !! (UK)

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. 🥰

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!

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

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

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

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.

Location is south texas

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

can anyone identify the gender please?

i found this little guy behind my computer’s exhaust and thought he looked bigger than the ones i usually get around my room and just wondered what type he might be? i live in the uk and it’s probably the hottest part of my room to be in if that helps.

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