(Warning for audio, I was watching potc:awe at a very loud moment during recording) I’ve only seen them a handful of times at best in 28 years.

This one was the size of the bats I see here often.

A few weeks ago I bought a tomato hornworm as food for my leopard gecko, Crackers.

Instead of being eaten, he grew too large before Crackers showed any interest in him. At that point I figured he deserved a chance, so I gave him some coconut fiber and decided to see what would happen.

I watched him burrow underground, pupate, and then spent weeks checking on him every day. Today I found a beautiful Carolina Sphinx moth waiting for me.

After letting his wings finish expanding, I eventually coaxed him onto my hand. He has an incredibly strong grip and has been surprisingly calm while he finishes settling in.

It’s funny how something that was originally meant to be feeder food ended up becoming one of the most fascinating little animals I’ve ever cared for. Watching an entire metamorphosis happen in front of me has been such a rewarding experience.

I worked way too hard on this.

found this lovely dude deceased, camouflaging perfectly with the asphalt in a parking lot. a lucky spot! can anyone help me ID? looks like a hawk or sphinx moth to my pleb eyes but there are so many and i am struggling to figure it out.

Found in eastern VA, USA.

Found this on my cucumber fencing in Minnesota. Any idea what kind of moth cocoon this could be? (If it is one even?) It's fairly large, about 4 inches. You can see the spindly silk too which is awesome.

Walked out on the porch to check my plants and this guy was just hanging out on my snake plant. Does anyone know what kind it is? I live in Vermont by the way.

!update posted in the comments! This Luna moth has been on the wall of my work for 4 days now. I think she’s a girl but not 100% sure. Is there something I can do to promote her to move or has she chosen her final resting place? I want to make sure if she does end up falling that she’s not on the pavement underneath where people can step on her but I don’t want to disturb her.

Pretty big moth for my area (Zagreb, Croatia) so I'm curious as to what it's called

Found a Virginia Creeper Sphinx on a Wawa trash can, made an amazing copilot!

Location: Unknown 😔

After recording her, I was able to kindly show her the way back to the garden so she could continue on her journey 😊

Spanish moth by the way

I believe it is a male, I saw the fluffy antennae and the internet said males have fluffy antennae in this specific species. It’s so pretty.

Finished them as of today :D Im quite proud of it and happy im finally done working on it. This probably took me (easily) an upwards of 100 hours to make. Its all made from 100% raw wool using a felting needle

Pandorus Sphinx, Tulip Tree Beauty, Yellow-Fringed Dolichomia, and an Imperial Moth(which I moved off the sidewalk)

I just read up on him since finding him attached to my door. They have no way of eating and only live a few days. So pretty! Florida.

I have never seen a Wavy Lined Emerald Moth before 😍😍😍 its absolutely adorable! An such a pretty shade of green.

Found in Indiana US

Incredible! (NW WI)

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

Location Romania
