Photo of a man standing next to a slide presentation on moths.
At the meeting of the Totterdown residents association. Have a great presentation on moths from local entomologist Ray Barnet.
Fascinating to learn about species change over the past 20 years due to climate change.

iNaturalist leads me to believe this is a Granny's Cloak Moth, Speiredonia spectans.

A photo of a plume moth. It is a light beige color, and a couple inches long. The moth has an unusual silhouette, with thin, stick-like wings held nearly perpendicular to the equally long, thin abdomen.
Plume moths (family Pterophoridae) are strange looking moths. I could not find any well-documented reason for their unusual appearance, but I believe it may have something to do with camouflage on grass or tree branches.
This specimen was photographed in […]

bagworm moths have recently been crawling around my building and i've gotta say i love them. they build and carry their little bags everywhere, what icons. 💪
can't tell, is this #Mothstodon content? at the very least, it's another #BugSeason find from my own neighborhood on okinawa. :)
Orange butterfly with a lot of mottled brown spots, with open wings, sitting on a plant with green leaves.
Apparently there's only four places in the UK you can see one of these.. it's a Heath Fritillary.
Luckily one of those places is close to where I am. Lots of them about today, if you know where to look.

Hummingbird hawk moth hovering while sipping nectar from a buddleja flower
Hummingbird hawk moth hovering while sipping nectar from a buddleja flower
We've been visited by a humming bird hawk moth, aka bee moth. Its a moth, not a bird, but it feeds by hovering while sipping nectar from deep-throated flowers, like a humming bird.
I managed to get these pictures. I'll try to get some more over the weekend.

a moth resting on a rough wall. The moth itself has folded itself into a triangular shape. The wings are dark with a few light stripes crossing them.
This beauty (I'm guessing it's Euplagia quadripunctaria, Jersey Tiger, Russischer Bär) settled in our garden. The Jersey Tiger is Germany's butterfly of the year 2025.

a closeup of a LARGE wood-and-ash colored fuzzy moth sitting still on a stucco floor, a day before his passing
a kind of tragic end... I saw him on the floor of our walkway a few days ago, admired him, gave him space, hoped others would do the same, and a day later just saw him twitching on the ground; asking around revealed two possible causes - pesticides, or flying too […]

Jersey tiger moth on a white rendered wall. It has bright yellow stripes on black wings, very striking.
Jersey tiger moth. Only the second time I've ever seen one, don't think they're very common in the UK mainland.
The first time I saw one was a couple of years ago and I made this little track to celebrate:

Found this beauty in the house this morning! My photo app informs me it is a swallow-tailed #moth #mothstodon
Here's a moth I met recently. Bigger than my palm. Google Images and Wikipedia images suggest this is

A daddy long legs with only 4 legs and with feelers making a funny moustache shape on an apple nibbling away in the dark
Silhouette of a spider and an apple tree. You can't see the web, and perspective leaves you wondering if it's a tiny spider between the leaves, or a huge one descending from the sky above.
I was doing some late evening moth hunting couple of nights ago and managed to find a few interesting shots

Large moth resting on a window. It's wings and brown near the body, very light brown further away, but with unusual red and black markings at the bottom.
Spectacular visitor to our house today. My son wonders if anyone can help identify it? Location is #Canberra , wingspan an impressive 11cm. #moth #mothstodon #entomology
Very large dappled brown and white moth, resting on a bright pink pair of shorts hanging from a washing line.
Impeccable camouflage. #Mothstodon
