Happy #MothMonday / #MacroMonday friends. Bug observation season is slowly winding down for the year, but there are still some amazing friends to see, such as this Giant Gray Moth, Cymatophora approximaria.

A photo of a gray, brown, and black moth resting on white house siding. The moth is mostly gray, with wavy black and brown lines. The patterning looks very much like lichen covered tree bark which would be very effective camouflage in most of its range across the Southeastern U.S.

This is a Zale lunata moth, to the best of my knowledge. With its craggy brown appearance it certainly looks like it should be on a conifer tree, but I read that its larva feed on maple, willow, and prunus species. This one was trying to be beneath my doormat.

A brown textured moth found throughout the east and west of North America. The wingspan is 40–55 mm. The moth flies from year round depending on the location. The same brown moth showing it from the other direction. It was nice of it to show up to give me a chance to participate in macro Monday now that it is too cold for the bees to be flying, and the flowers are frost-touched.

Halloween is for the goths and moths 📣

So we're kicking off our spooky countdown with the aptly-named Feathered Gothic (Tholera decimalis). A common moth, well distributed throughout most of Britain, but very local further north.

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.

Look out for the dramatic Black Rustic (Aporophyla nigra) on the wing from September to October 👀

The adult moths come to light and sugar but can also be seen feeding on the flowers of Ivy and even overripe Blackberries.

Herkenning: De vlinder heeft een spanwijdte van 6 tot 7 millimeter. De kop is vuilwit behaard en het borststuk is licht oranjebruin zonder duidelijke tekening. Op de voorvleugels bevindt zich een zilverachtige wortelstreep, waaraan een sterk gekromde zilveren dwarsband in het midden ligt; deze band is in zeldzame gevallen verbonden met de wortelstreep. Verder zijn er één of twee haakjes aan de achterrand en drie aan de voorrand zichtbaar. In het vleugelpuntgebied is een zwarte oogvlek aanwezig. In tegenstelling tot de klavervouwmot heeft deze soort geen witte vlek aan de achterrand nabij de voorvleugelbasis. Vliegtijd en gedrag: De vlinders vliegen meestal in twee generaties, van half juni tot augustus en van oktober tot mei. Levenswijze: De rupsen zijn actief van mei tot juni en van half juli tot april. Ze maken een mijn aan de onderzijde van het blad, waarbij ze het blad grotendeels samenvouwen en het meeste bladgroen wegvreten. De verpopping vindt plaats binnen deze mijn. De soort overwintert als rups, pop en vlinder. Voedsel: De rupsen leven op hopklaver (Medicago lupulina), luzerne (M. sativa), goudgele honingklaver (Melilotus altissimus) en witte honingklaver (M. albus), en soms ook op andere klaversoorten (Trifolium sp.).

A photo of a yellow and dark orange patterned moth resting on light blue painted wood. Thew moth's slender legs are striped black and white. Its head is black and yellow, it's eyes large and black, bright yellow scales between, that sweep back, spreading around an area of black scales on the thorax. The antennae are slender and tan, rising from between the eyes up towards the camera, somewhat out of focus. The wings are a darkly iridescent orange with large spots of bright yellow throughout and the trailing edge features a delicate fringe. The abdomen is bright orange with stripes of blue iridescence along the 4th and 5th segments. A close up of the abdomen, showing the bright orange scales and rows of blue iridescence in more detail. The wing scales along either side are a shine with a rich golden hue.

Vliegtijd & gedrag Eind augustus-half november in één generatie. De vlinders komen op licht, maar vooral op smeer; ze bezoeken overrijpe bramen en bloemen van klimop. Rups: april-juni. De rups is vooral ´s nachts actief, maakt een cocon in de grond en verpopt zich daarin enkele weken later. De soort overwintert als ei op de waardplant. Habitat Loofbossen, struwelen, duinen en heiden. Waardplanten: Diverse loofbomen, waaronder eik, iep, berk en wilg; ook meidoorn, struikhei en bosbes.

Meet our 'Wonder of the Day', the Merveille du Jour (Dichonia aprilina)!

Its pale green colouring and black markings allow it to blend in perfectly with lichens and mosses.
