A Geometer Moth, Krananda semihyalina, spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park, Singapore on 30 Aug 2025. From far, the pattern and wing shape make it look like debris on a leaf.

#MothOfTheDay is not a flashy number, but still interesting
BORDERED STRAW
Heliothis peltigeraLargely a continental immigrant brought over during summer breezes. Largely southern/coastal. Larvae enjoy calendula.

Another amazing moth by the porch light, and another Sphinx moth!
This one is in genus Smerinthus, the Eyed Hawkmoths. Likely Smerinthus ophthalmica, the Western Eyed Sphinx

A throwback to some frustrated but pro-moth propaganda I printed years ago. I thought I would share for #NationalMothWeek. I don’t own much cashmere but the common clothes moth was eating it! I had to do something. I’m a printmaker so I printed broadsides. It didn’t dissuade the moths, but I felt mildly better and got to celebrate the amazing biodiversity of these lovely insects.

Las orugas de las polillas del árbol del coral (Agathodes) se alimentan del árbol del coral (Erythrina), una planta ornamental. En la imagen, A. ostentalis vive en el Extremo Oriente de Asia y en Australia, alimentándose de E. indica y E. vespertillio. 📷Victor W Fazio III #insectos #insects #Lepidoptera #polillas #moths

@thegardendude Maybe not exactly a field guide, but Brenda (the author) is a member of our local Wild Ones chapter.
I chatted with her last week and visited her garden a month ago when I picked up some butterfly habitats to protect some of my veggies from white cabbage butterflies. We're in southeast Michigan in zone 6b.

Anyone have recommendations for a field guide type book for #moths and #butterflies that **also tells you what to plant to attract them?** Specific to the Mid-Atlantic region or the southeastern U.S.? I’m currently in the middle of helping my Mom re-do parts of her garden to make it more friendly to native pollinators.
Much appreciated!

PEBBLE HOOK-TIP
Drepana falcatariaA common and largest of the hook-tip family, albeit still only about 2-3cm across. A flattie, so not chunky. Larvae feed on birch.

#MothOfTheDay is the
GYPSY MOTH
Lymantria dispar disparThis is a male. Females are white and do not fly, and barely move from the cocoon area. Small colonies in the UK but most are immigrants from mainland European continent. I had three visitors last night.

#MothOfTheDay is the rather striking
LEOPARD MOTH
Zeuzera pyrinaA first ever visit to my garden last night, so nice surprise for me. Reasonably common across the UK. Larvae feed inside the twigs and branches of various plants, particularly apple, pear, quince etc

Finally the rain stopped. I had been getting antsy. Moth Week started two day ago, and I hadn't caught a single moth yet. It looks like the next couple of nights will be good as well, so Djursland will hopefully fill my coffer (memory card) with wondrous moths.
And Spiders.
Moth trapping in the night.
Spider hunting in the day.
I'll need a vacation, to recover from this vacation 😆 -
#HummingbirdHawkMoth very close up. This specimen was enjoying sipping nectar from the buddleia plants near the bridge from Baker Lane car park to New Conduit Street in #KingsLynn so much that I was able to get a very close zoom on it...

Slim pickings on the #Moth front last night after a week away and sudden drop in night-time temps. This peachy little thing is:
ROSY FOOTMAN
Miltochrista miniataCaterpillars feed off lichen and the moth itself is classed as local, so not very widespread. Southern coastal counties see most.
