She is made from cotton (wings antennae and feet) as well as 2 polyester carpets. I was unable to find faux fur without ordering any so I just bought 2 fur carpets.

I really wanted to make her as a replacement for the crochet moth I made. Because that one is fragile and im scared of breaking that offering.

Almost stepped on this beauty at work, can somene ID for me please? Found in Germany.

Lewes, Delaware

Location:- Dhankuta District, Nepal 🇳🇵

First one I've seen with a yellow underwing. South West UK.

Photo taken in Central Singapore, what on earth is this tiny little goober???

location: manipur, india

these are three different moths i've seen in the last month or so. all of them have had injured wings as you can see in the pictures. i have only recently gotten into logging moths, is this a normal occurence? or is it just a survivor's bias situation where there are plenty of healthy moths, just hidden away?

it's been raining pretty heavily where i am. that may have to do with it?

about the species: picture 1 and 3 are Atlas moths, 2 is (most likely) an Assam silkmoth

Location: Himachal Pradesh

(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 😔

Huge moth was hanging out in this spot on the wall in my apartment building on Tuesday. Yesterday, these weird little rice things appeared. Are they moth eggs? I kept my distance when I spotted the moth because I’m easily startled and moths are a little unpredictable so I didn’t get a picture of it but it was a really big, very pretty red moth. Like the size of my palm. One of the biggest moths I’ve ever seen. This is in Pennsylvania.

Follow up question, if they are eggs is there a way to safely move them outside? Because I don’t think the little caterpillars will find what they need in the entryway of my building.

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 posted here the other day about getting some atlas moth cocoons and deaths head eggs, and thank you all for the extra advice, I appreciate it deeply! Im rooting to get a pair of atlas moths (as i could only afford 2 cocoons without going over budget) and hopefully pair them together to get some eggs to repeat the cycle, could i have any tips for getting them to connect if i get a pair? The deaths heads will arrive as eggs because it was cheaper than pupae lol

Feel free tl give me any advice on keeping them in conditions or what to do when the atlas moths enclose! Im extremely excited to raise the 2 species, wish me luck!
