We found a moth! He’s inside a cup in the picture, he kept fluttering around my friends kitchen. We will be letting him outside soon.

We don’t know what kind it is but we found it in Western Washington.

I believe this is a kind of Arctiid, but it’s a little hard to make out the markings. Do you have other photos?

Yes, I saw it in the tag! I’m working on it.

Interactive - Moth Finder by ~Komical

YAY! it finally uploaded! Enjoy some silly animated moffs- one of my favorite critters besides fuzzy spiders! This project was inspired by fyeahcutemoths which I highly recommend following! I might upload a few different shots of the moth characters later.

This is cute. Give it some love! :D

Male Clearwing Tussock Moth (Perina nuda, Lymantriinae, Erebidae)

The male tussock moth has scaleless forewings; the female is more conventionally winged. Typically of Lymantriid moths, neither sex has functioning mouthparts and do not feed as adults. Energy reserves are stored from their caterpillar days.

The Spanish Moon Moth, Graellsia Isabellae.

The final of the first nine; species was artist’s choice. There will be news of prints and such for this set soon.

I’ll never forget the time I woke up to a gorgeous luna moth on my screen door.

Not quite sure what this guy was, but it was very pretty! I lived in upstate New York at the time (around the Finger Lakes).
