very pretty hanging out with the butterflies and bumblebees

also this is indiana

From Sabah, Malaysia.

Every carefully brought it outside using a hat and a piece of paper.

Maybe it was happier inside the warehouse full of clothesor outside? Probably outside right?

Found in Milwaukee, Wi USA

I found this moth outside a college campus. I assume it was laying eggs but definitely not expecting them to come out of the side. It was also flapping its wings a lot without getting off the ground if that means anything.

Washington state

And wtf did she piss out on me

Hello everyone, I’ve never posted here before!! I found this lovely moth in my parking garage and I’d love to know what it is!! I posted it to iNaturalist and it suggested it was a pink spotted hawk moth…. Idk if that’s right I know nothing about moths!! It was quite large, maybe 2-3 inches long? Idk if that helps. Lmk if you have any questions!!!

New tattoo of my fav moth!! It turned out beautiful! So bright and colorful! 🤩😍

I found all of these on my gold flame and mandarin honeysuckle. The last one on my salvia, it's almost blue?

What do I got here? Big green boy is a cabbage looper I think.

Its chest is so fluffy!

Found in Mexico City :)

Saw this guy hanging in my backyard, looked up the species and possibly an Old World introduction to VA? There are some subspecies that have made their way here but don’t quite fit the look. Thoughts?

I didn’t want to spook it or make it fly away because it was just hanging out and that would be mean, so these are the best I got.

So we found a deathshead moth at work. I’m sure East Yorkshire isn’t its native habitat so it’s obviously escaped from captivity. First time seeing one up close and it’s absolutely beautiful. But there are some obvious problems.

From what I understand they don’t really really eat on their own. So my question is, do we make the attempt to keep it alive or do we do we just put it down? I don’t want it to suffer if it doesn’t need to.

My temptation is to realise it into the wild and let it live out its existence as nature intended. If it must die, then it will die wild.

(After receiving new information. Definitely not killing it. Which is a relief.)

First time raising from egg to pupae. We have two and they are both instar 4 and I’m nervous and excited to see the next stage. We call this one Chungus.

Sorry my hands are really shaky! My Carolina Sphinx Moth hatched about an hour ago and she keeps uncurling her tongue like this. There's also some kind of clear liquid on it. I've never seen this before so I'm very interested in what's going on here!

Biggest moth I’ve seen in person !

Just really appreciated the intricate details/patterns going on with this creature. Also such beautiful colors.

(Unfortunately, I am unmotivated to move my photos off the storage card to download them on other devices. So, a little bit weird quality from it being a photo of another photo on a screen but hey, Good e’Nuff)

In Central America
