Back in August last year, as I was pruning our grape vine, I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar. And since we were all curious to see what the ‘final version’, as it were, would be like, we kept it in a special enclosure. We...

I went to check if the garbage had been picked up (looking out my front door), and it had, so I brought the cans in. When I went back to get the second can, I looked down and saw this little dude/dudette on the wall. I tried...

Photographing a sunset

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 4 Sep 23

Last night I saw a beautiful sunset outside, so I went out to photograph it. The tablet I was using always makes the colours look lighter than they actually are, so I couldn't get the colours to look right. But when I get the...

A moth on the wall

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 21 Nov 22

I like how little things bring out something as drab as this moth so beautifully. This moth has a dull brown color, but some interesting design. It chose to rest near the bottom of this bright yellow wall, just above some green...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 4 Nov 21

I have a lot of house plants and here on my desk is a magenta-flowered pelargonium. For a few days I have noticed there seemed to be specks falling off it onto the table, but didn’t pay too much attention, until today I suddenly...

A Giant Atlas Moth

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 18 Jul 19

It seems like I am so lucky to have a visitor today. Before it flies away, I grab my mobile phone to take a photo of it. At first, I was startled to have a glimpse of this creature. Since I am not aware of this kind of insect...

Moth Mother

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23530) • United Kingdom 11 Jun 19

Others would probably see this as an interesting huge moth, but in Filipino culture we regard this as a visitor from the after life. It was my mum’s birthday yesterday and we found this visitor the day before in the master’s...

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 23 Jul 18

A few weeks ago I found this interesting looking chap in my garden. Needless to say I didn't hoe up that weed it was sitting on. I didn't want to disturb this large caterpillar. Well, that and I didn't want to take the chance...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381777) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Aug 17

As a change from writing about our travel experiences, I thought I’d share what I’ve found out about moths and butterflies. I posted a shot of what I thought was a butterfly but I have a suspicion that it might have actually been...

Moth

It was really hard to get this photo because of the wind. The flower kept moving back and forth without a break. This was the best out of about 10 tries.

Resting on a Rock

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 15 Sep 16

I saw this little guy while back to my car. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to open its wings any more than this. However, I do think it looks like it has a face on the side of its wing.

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 27 Jul 16

I'm not really sure since I've never seen one like this before and am not a bug expert. Saw it and grabbed a photo while on my morning walk today.

Hummingbird Moth

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 12 Jul 12

My butterfly bush is in full bloom. One of our first customers to the bush that we've seen is the hummingbird moth. It looks like a funky bee of sorts but flutters like a humming bird. It's a very unique looking insect. I wanted...

Mysterious small holes in my clothes

SandeeE @SandeeE (346) • United States 20 Dec 11

Okay so growing up I always heard of Moth Balls to prevent moths from eating at your clothes or something like that. Well I cant stand the smell of the balls so never had them or do I know anyone anymore these days using them. BUT...
