  2. While taking a breather and sipping water, I noticed a small white moth desperately fluttering to free from the spider’s silk by the trailside. It appeared that the spider wasn’t interested in it, so I used my hiking stick to set it free. The moth circled above me, and flew away to live another night. 🤍🦋✨

  3. Holy moth. I first thought that is some paper trash. But now I awesome moth #Mothtodon

  4. Pandora sphinx moth on my pole beans yesterday.

    For reference, the leaves are about 10 cm wide.

  6. I *think* this is a police-car moth (Gnophaela vermiculata). It’s visiting hydrangea flowers (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Quick Fire’).

  7. CW: Jersey Tiger Moth

    We have a very distinguished visitor this evening, hanging out on the window of the kitchen door.

    I'm not letting them in though.

  8. @hastingsmothman my local residents group has a moth trap that is being shared about. So far 11 people (including the local primary school) have used it.
    I presented about it with some photos and even more people have signed up to use it. So many were surprised at how beautiful the moth were.

  9. Bad phone photo of a six-spot burnet I came across this afternoon.

  10. The moth trap had a bumper haul last night. Over 60 moths (hard to count them all). Probably about 12-15 species. Here are some beauties. Not identified yet.

  11. A friend in #totterdown, is establishing an urban nature reserve where people make their gardens more wildlife friendly. We are docunting local wildlife and I have been loaned a moth trap for a few days. Previous users got 60+ moths in 1 night across 13 species.
    Excited to see what I get.

  12. Found this poorly camoflaged Curve-Lined Angle, Digrammia continuata (Geometridae) sitting on our hiking trail instead of on a tree (where we likely would have missed it). #mothtodon #moths #moth #mothing #nature

  13. Angle Shades Moth

    What a cool name!

  14. Salut Mastodon, après une petite pause parce que j’étais occupée à dessiner une affiche pour la pièce de théâtre d’un ami (hâte de la partager quand ce sera le moment), je reprends la liste des fées en cours de route ^^

  19. Reticulated fruitworm moth (Cenopis reticulatana). The beak-like structure that extends beyond the head is composed of the labial palpi, sensory organs that have a long list of abilities including detection of CO2. Females tend to have larger palps, and I gather that that might be because they are the ones who use CO2 to assess host plant quality during oviposition. #tortricidae #moth #moths #mothtodon #mothing #lepidoptera #insects #entomology #nature #NationalMothWeek

  20. To kick off National Moth Week, here's my favorite find from Saturday night's mothing event at the Hatfield Township Nature Area hosted by @michaelpirrello. Pretty sure it's a walnut Caloptilia moth (Caloptilia blandella). 100% sure it's cute.

  21. How cool is this Spotted Lichen Moth? It's diurnal and its larvae only eat lichen on Ficus, Eucalyptus & Acacia tree trunks.

  22. CW: We've all heard about the insect apocalypse and here's a personal experience of mine with it

    I lived in UCLA married student housing on sawtelle until around 1969. These were old garden style apartments, now torn down and replaced, and had a ton of lantana hedges.

    When the lantana was in bloom it was continually surrounded by clouds of one particular kind of moth. I still live in Los Angeles and there's still lantana everywhere but I can't remember the last time I saw one of those moths.

    From wiki I think they were
    Lantanophaga pusillidactyla, which is a southern California native. The wiki page doesn't say if it's endangered or not, but it's certainly gone from Los Angeles in historic quantities.
