Three realistic paintings of moths in ornate frames arranged on a distressed white tabletop. There are hints of wood tone showing throughout the white surface, which you can also see behind the insects. This helps to indicate that they have been painted on clear glass, and each one looks like it is floating in the middle its respective frame.

This is Phyllodes imperialis, the imperial fruit-sucking moth. Native to Australia, they grow into a fairly nondescript moth with a tiny patch of pink.

But the "face" here is meant to simulate the long teeth & giant eyes of a predator.
A close-up shot of a pink underwing moth caterpillar rearing its head in a defensive posture against a blurred green background. The caterpillar's skin is a dark reddish-brown, but it is dramatically marked to look like a skull or a small snake. Two large, glossy black false eyes with yellow borders stare forward, separated by a pattern of white segments that perfectly mimic a row of bared teeth.

a photo of a large yellow, orange, and brown moth resting on a woman's hand. the moth's body is thick and covered in fur-like scales and is brownish orange with bright yellow areas. the wings are yellow at the tips with dark brown eye-spots on both fore and hind wings. there is more yellow along the hind wings. this coloration gives good camouflage in the later part of the year as many of the host plants in its range have similar coloration.

I’m switching up day 15 & 17, & sharing my ‘Eclipse of Moths’ for #spacetober_challenge prompt ‘moon’. 🧪🐡🔭🦋

The delightful term for a group of moths is an eclipse. This hand-printed lino block print shows 5 of the noctunral moths of Ontario in front of the moon at a lunar eclipse. The 5 moths are:
My linocut print of moon at lunar eclipse in oranges and brown against a very dark sky behind 5 moths: the gorgeous green Luna moth (Actias luna), the yellow and purplish-pink Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the Five-spotted Hawk Moth in brown with orange spots (Manduca quinquemaculata), the red-orange, black and cream Virgin Tiger Moth (Apantesis virgo), and the black and white White Underwing (Catocala relicta). In white it reads “An eclipse of” above and “moths” below. I designed the typefaces to suggest the meaning of the words. "Eclipse" is full of crescent moon shapes. "Moths" is written in moth shapes.

You. You were involved. I had Moth night because I have an eleven year old daughter and she has a lot of friends. And I don't always have the freedom to drive them to Pine Barrens. We raised a brood of Imperial Moths a couple years ago. Entire families came to see the moths. It was a party.

Easy-peasy. Looks vaguely like a 50 percent smaller, much duller-colored version of an Imperial moth with wings folded.
