#MothOfTheDay is a real autumn regular in the Southeast UK. Again, a continental immigrant and not yet a suspected colonist. I had 6 of these visitors last night. The ethereal...

I was feeling terrible today, but I couldn't take time off work, so I went to the central Tokyo... and of course, I took pictures of any unfamiliar insects, birds, or flowers I saw. This is Pidorus glaucopis, the first time I've ever seen it #moth #nature

#MothOfTheDay is POPLAR KITTEN (left and top right) Fircula bifida Similar 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. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #august #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

Guten Morgen und einen relaxten Samstag! 😀 👋 Zum #Insektensamstag heute ein Hochalpen-Widderchen (Zygaena exulans). Der tagaktive Nachtfalter kommt in alpinen Regionen oberhalb der Baumgrenze vor, hier auf ca. 3.000 Höhenmetern im schweizerischen Wallis. #insekten #insectphotography #insects #falter #moth #butterfly #tiere #animals #fotografie #photography #Photographie #foto #animalphotography #biology #natur #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography

#MothOfTheDay - if Mothman did adult movies, this would surely be my name ... DUSKY THORN Ennomos fuscantaria For me, this autumnal leaf mimic is the first real sign of the beginning of the end of #summer. Larval foodplant is ash. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #august #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

#MothOfTheDay is a bit of a controversial one. Larvae can strip oak trees and cause terrible skin / breathing problems if handled. Yet the moth itself (completely non-toxic) is quite neat and pretty. OAK PROCESSIONARY Thaumetopoea processionea As always, recorded for official use. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #july #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate

#Moth #Moths #Iowa I’m going to jump on the #Odyssey bandwagon (even though I might never see the movie…) This handsome moth is called “Antheraea polyphemus” and is named for Polyphemus, the Cyclops from Homer’s Odyssey. It’s all about the eyes! (My son took the photo yesterday outside of his workplace in central Iowa.)

#MothOfTheDay is one of the 'kitten' moths. I prefer the slightly bolder-looking Alder Kitten, but this is the next best ... SALLOW KITTEN Furcula furcula As its name suggests, the larvae feed on sallows, as well as poplars. #moths #moth #mothsandbutterflies #butterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #cute #garden #summer #july #conservation #biodiversity #alttext #science #educate
