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.

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.

A photo of an adorable chonky orange and yellow Sweet Bay Silk Moth from the front as it rests on a brown pine needle. The moth's legs, and body is covered in fluffy fur-like rust orange scales. Its thick forelegs are mostly clustered around the front. One dark eye is visible, the other lost in shadow, the yellow feathery antennae peeking out from above. Its large wings are held partly open behind it and a small yellowish leafhopper is hitching a ride on the leading edge of the moth's left wing .

A photo of the top of the head of a VERY fluffy white moth. The moth's 2 front legs are mostly covered in fluffy, white, hair-like scales. The moth's slender antennae are yellow and feathery, emerging from the fluffy head just above the dark eyes which one is visible on the left. The moth's head is covered in the same fluffy white scales as the front legs. The second pair of legs just visible on the lower sides of the frame are black and slender, with small bands of white just visible.

A photograph of a brown and gold moth from the side as it rests on a white surface. The moth has brown eyes with dark centers and its slender tan antennae are held back along the body, under the wings. Its legs are slender and tan, with poofy scales close to the body that look like thigh warmers. The area behind the head rises sharply, hump-like and there are a series of crested scale tufts that rise, the chiefest of which stands like an exaggerated Mohawk hair-do, the smaller behind it and to the sides. The folded wings are mostly brown with wavy white lines throughout and a bright white spot and loop marking about mid way. The wings also have golden scales, along the top, and mostly towards the rear which shimmer lustrously in the light of the flash.

Na parte superior são visíveis o que parecem pelos de tom claro e duas antenas que lembram folhas. Ela está pousada sobre um prato de vidro transparente, que está sobre uma superfície de madeira clara. 📷 Foto feita por mim semana passada na Serra da Mantiqueira, Brasil 🇧🇷
