#MothOfTheDay is a regular summer visitor:
SETACEOUS HEBREW CHARACTER
Xestia c-nigrumNamed after the stigmata on its wings said to resemble the Hebrew character nun (נ) and its setaceous (bristly) thorax (as opposed to early spring's Hebrew Character which is not setaceous)

@naught101 @anahemsworth @sundogplanets
this probably just useless curiosity, but I wonder if an ecology journal that publishes papers on the ecology of nocturnal animals (bats, moths, etc) might be interested in it.

POPLAR KITTEN (left and top right)
Fircula bifidaSimilar to Sallow Kitten (bottom right). Differences - Poplar Kitten much larger (1.5 x size), less bold contrasting features & central dark band has straighter, smoother outer edge. Sallow band edge more scalloped.

I spotted these tiny 3cm or so mint moths in my garden and took these. They are lovely insects. Nikon D850, with macro lens. #macro #moths #photography #mothstodon

Las polillas Apterona helix tan solo tienen machos al sur de los Alpes. Al norte, y en aquellas que llegaron a Norteamérica, todas son hembras sin alas que se reproducen por partenogénesis. Por ello viven desde que son orugas en una funda en forma de concha de caracol formada por detritus, donde también dejan sus huevos. 📷Alexander Mrkvicka #insectos #insects #Lepidoptera #polillas #moths

#MothOfTheDay - if Mothman did adult movies, this would surely be my name ...
DUSKY THORN
Ennomos fuscantariaFor me, this autumnal leaf mimic is the first real sign of the beginning of the end of #summer. Larval foodplant is ash.

A Hummingbird Hawkmoths (genus Macroglossum) spotted at Springleaf Nature Park, Singapore on 14 Sept 2025. These fast flying moths are a challenge to shoot. But sometimes you get a lucky shot when they pause for more than a few seconds.

Inchworm update, they've grown and now they look like this!
I counted between 3-5 remaining caterpillars. The second photo is a tiny chrysalis on the bottom of a flower tube. It's so wee! What will come out?! WHEN will it come out?!

A Hummingbird Clearwing, a day-flying moth, nectaring on Bee Balm. Common in the eastern United States, its habit of hovering at flowers leads it to often being mistaken for a hummingbird. Amazingly, this one stayed sort of still long enough for a couple of iPhone pictures.

Learning to Look Closer #4
Most people probably wouldn’t have stopped for her. She was just a little brown moth outside near the cat food. And with cats around, that probably wasn’t the safest place for her to be. So I picked her up. I expected her to fight me. To flutter her wings, scramble away, or do whatever tiny moths do when a giant human suddenly decides to scoop them up. She didn’t. She just let me. No fighting. No struggling. She sat completely still on the tip of my finger while I carried her […]https://destinylaharris.com/2026/08/04/learning-to-look-closer-4/

Does anyone know what these two are? 🤔
Edit: thanks to @hastingsmothman for letting me know they are Red Underwings. 👍🙂
They are relaxing at the top of the wall in our porch. Nice and shady. Out of the hot, glaring sun. 💚

#MothOfTheDay is the interestingly marked
LYCHNIS
Hadena bicrurisThere is a very similar moth called CAMPION (more pink & purple diffusion), but both feed on the seeds of campion plants. Lychnis is just an old term for a campion plant, but the moths differ.
