A very famous moth, the African death's head hawkmoth :) Named after the skull shape on their back, though honestly i dont care about the skull, i care about the fact that they can SQUEEK!!!
Beautiful promethea moth I managed to untangle some cobwebs from last night :) she stuck around where I put her for a while to rest and recover, and was sent on her way just now! At first I mistook her for a cecropia, but after a little more digging (and the help of some sunlight) I found that she more closely resembles a promethea :D I love her and I hope she enjoys the rest of her little buggy life <3
A Hummingbird Clearwing moth is a rare and amazing insect to see.
Not only is it just about as big as a hummingbird and behaves in much the same manner - floating in the air as they do, but if you look closely, its wings are indeed, clear.
Amazingly, even in flight you can see right through them.

This is a flying squirrel that I drew with moth wings because I thought it was funny. Also, moth wings look good on absolutely everyone. Think of is as a squirrel fairy. A fairydiddle. A flying HAR HAR *wink* squirrel. It was funny in my head.
Looking back at the best moth species that visited this year and...
