  1. If someone gets confused by my new pfp...

    It is not pride month yet, but pride is every day.
    So have a pride moth instead.
    (Pun intended xP)

    Drawn by the wonderful @Gaertan.

    Leave them some love and if you want throw ure money at them as commissions are open right now and i highly recommend it ;)

  2. Fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria). If you have a moment to enlarge the image, check out the reduced 3rd proleg on the left-hand side of the loop, toward the bottom. Most lineages of the Geometridae have lost this A5 proleg completely, so this is very useful for identification. Fast-moving, arboreal caterpillars tend to have reduced numbers of prolegs. The standard in Lepidoptera is 5 pairs. #caterpillar #geometridae #inchworm #moth #lepidoptera #insects #nature #prolegs #evolution #nature

  7. #MothOfTheDay is a small bundle known as

    TOADFLAX BROCADE
    Calophasia lunula

    Local to southeast and parts of central UK, often more numerous near shingle beaches, its larvae feed on toadflax.

  9. I did not expect to meet a great peacock #moth near the entry of the house but I was quite delighted!
    This individual seems on its last leg though, either due to a predator, or it has simply reached the end of its short, short life.

  10. #MothOfTheDay - the other day, I had the chunky Great Prominent. Today, the smaller, woodchip cousin called

    PALE PROMINENT
    Pterostoma palpina

    It was on the clematis bark stem and very blended in until my eagle eye spotted him. Very common and larvae feed on sallows

  15. Gotta be the first time I see what happens inside one of these!

    I'm kinda sure this is from a moth...
    I need to learn more about these!

    The way it moves is so silly🥹

  16. Pheosia tremula (Clerck, 1759)

    Snapped at 10pm on April 22nd, even though it was pretty chilly outside (around 6 or 7°C IIRC).

  18. I've been working on a redesign for Aubie and I kept thinking how cool her wings would look as stained glass and, well... this happened.

    I definitely need to do more stained glass style stuff. Normally coloring isn't my favorite part, but this was a blast.

  19. #MothOfTheDay is a highly coloured micromoth of barely 5mm in length. Looks like a tiny grain of rice until you get close up and personal...

    WOOD MARBLE
    Lobesia reliquana

    Larvae feed on new oak shoots. Two boarded in the moth box overnight.

  25. #MothOfTheDay

    A real beauty and one of my absolute favourite moths. Introducing:

    MILLER
    Acronicta leporina

    So named as it looks like it's been dusted in milled flour. Larvae feed on deciduous trees. Pretty common in south of UK
