  2. CW: Large Dead Moth pinned, photo

    I do not know where my entomology pins are and I'm not sure if I even have long enough ones for the depth of the moth's body.

    It was kind of a rush since it was still flexible and not dried yet after passing overnight.

    I did swap out the red headed pin for a white headed pin after this photo, in case I can't remove it easily. #moth

  3. Y'all are just going to have to put up with stained-glass moths from me for a while, I'm on a roll. 😊

    Today's is rather infamous, the death's-head hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos)!

  4. Regal Moth or Royal Walnut Moth (Citheronia regalis). They sport a wingspan of 4/6 inches (10/15 cm). Females are noticeably larger and heavier than males. So much so that when they’re carrying eggs they have a difficult time taking flight. N. America. #biology #wildlife #nature #moth #insects

  9. Any idea who these will be grow up to be? We were out walking Cody and my husband spotted them along the fence line. There were dozens of them. It looks as though they're made of little bits of leaves and grass. #Entomology #Lepidopterology #insects #butterflies #moth

  14. Box Tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis). Subtropical and temperate regions of East Asia, introduced into Europe & N. America. Ironically it's larvae feed almost exclusively on boxwood, also introduced. #moth #wildlife #ecology #photo #nature #insects

  16. Well, this isn't THE bug project I was thinking of doing, but once I started it, I was hooked. Stained glass moths, anyone?

    First up is the beautiful luna moth (Actias luna)!

    This is the first in a series. My plan is to make a bunch of these, highlighting different species, and combine them into a coloring book. I'll probably rework this one as landscape, as the subsequent ones I've been working on look better horizontal, and I want to stay consistent with them.

    I also plan to color them myself!

    Originally it was going to be all sorts of insects, but the more I dived into moths, I realized they could EASILY fill a whole coloring book by themselves, and still only barely scratch the surface of their amazing variety.

    I just really love moths, y'all. 🥰🥰🥰

  21. Comfrey Ermine (Ethmia quadrillella) #moth is surprisingly unusual and considered #Rare in the recent past. Photographed here by @[email protected] in #Brighton PKster comments 'It's a colonising immigrant with much more of a West Sussex presence than East Sussex' #Wildlife #brightonwildlife

  22. Has anyone used Trichogramma
    Parasitic Wasps sachets with success in drawers etc. for clothes #moth ?
    Looks great, I think I understand the basic #entomology and it seems great, properly utilised.
    However, not sure if what I have read about accurate siting squares with the slightly random approach of popping sachets in drawers and wardrobe floors (as advised by the UK seller I'm looking at).

    Does anyone in fediland use them?
    Boosts to find users or experts would be brilliant, thanks!

  23. I may be 400 miles from home but with the power of a new phenomenon called Internet Wiffy or 5Gees I can bring you a #MothOfTheDay from yesterday’s batch. This is

    PEBBLE PROMINENT (see pebble effect on wing)
    Notodonta ziczac (great #Latin)

    Larvae feed on sallow and poplar. Common and widespread

  28. Milder last night before I head off on my hols for 10 days, and this big beast paid me a visit

    #MothOfTheDay is

    POPLAR HAWK-MOTH
    Laothoe populi

    Common, but impressive with a 9cm wingspan in flight and the cutest of cute Muppet-like fuzzy face.
