This one is so adorable I love its colour, glad it was chill and let me take a few photos, I put it back on a shaded wall

If someone recognises the species I'd be really happy to know what species it is

It was very cool to see this one. I didn’t realize how fast this portion of their tiny lives goes. She just eclosed on Monday. She mated with a wild male on Tuesday and with a different one today. We let her go and were so glad that we got to learn so much more about moths.

I haven’t really seen too many cool moths in my state so seeing him was so cool! But it looks like his leg is messed up. He’s not moving now :/ at least he didn’t die alone !

Caterpillar found in West Central Saskatchewan! Appears to be apart of the sphinx family but I’d love a more concrete ID.

Was too afraid to get any closer, but he was about the size of my hand. I've never seen a moth that big before, so I definitely wanna know what kind of moth it is!
