Meet the world’s heaviest moth Endoxyla cinereus (Giant Wood Moth). Just emerged outside my kitchen window. Huuuuuge! (that’s a man hand).

A Moth's Stillness, a Soul's Devotion: The Silent Vigil of a Winged Seeker

This close-up photo shows a really cool moth with its wings spread out, probably just chilling on a windowsill during the day. Based on its distinct pattern of broad white bands on brown forewings, it's likely a member of the Erebidae family, perhaps even an underwing moth (Catocala genus), a diverse group known for their striking wing patterns. The moth's fuzzy body and feathery antennae are key features that distinguish it from a butterfly. The vibrant colors and patterns you see aren't painted on; they're actually made up of thousands of tiny, overlapping scales. This particular design, with the broad white stripes, is a great example of the intricate beauty found in the moth world. This is a common resting pose for many moth species during the day as they are not active until night. Another possibility is the White-lined Sphinx moth (Hyles lineata). It is a large, stout moth with a really cool pattern: its fuzzy brown body has six distinct white stripes, and its forewings are a striking mix of dark olive-brown with a broad tan band and thin white lines running along the veins. These moths, sometimes called "hummingbird moths" because of how they hover at flowers, are very active pollinators and a great example of the diverse and beautiful creatures in the insect world. The way the photo is taken allows you to appreciate all the little details on its wings and body.

A pretty little moth that's no bigger than my fingernail. Utetheisa lotrix (I think) Erebidae, Noctuoidea. There's a field full of them at one of the places I go with the dogs. #moths #MothsOfBluesky #insects #lepidoptera #wildlife #nature

I went to the beach with my family yesterday and when we got back and pulled into the driveway, I look to my left and look what I see! This is a Banded Sphinx Moth! It was just a little bit smaller than my palm! 😍

Having posted a photo only yesterday of my first Small Magpie moth, another caught my attention today by settling on my shirt collar and demanding a selfie 🦋😁

An Evergreen Bagworm emerges from it's nest. It will carry it while feasting on vegetation. The smell of cedar was amazing as the plant material to construct its home. It will eventually turn into a moth. ~Gretchen

I was learning to fish a couple of days ago and this lime hawk moth fell in the canal, so I carefully fished it out on the end of my rod. The photos are slightly blurry since it was vibrating its wings to dry off. What a cutie.

A lime hawk moth (a large brown and green moth) sitting in my friend's palm facing towards his wrist as he holds it up to the camera. The moth is slightly blurry because it's vibrating its wings to dry them. The towpath and a little bit of the canal can be seen in the background.
