Art of a death's-head moth from November 1 of 2013. The moth appears to fly toward the top-left of the canvas (cardstock.) Colours are mostly yellows, oranges, and tans, with some blues and purples to create contrast; the background is white. On the right portion of the art, there are dotted-swirls and leafy patterns incorporated into the hind- and forewings, and flowing off of the page to the right.
Fall-ish death's-head from November 1, 2013.

Macroglossum stellatarum (a sphingid moth) hovering behind and above the violet flowers of a plant (Verbena). It uses its probiscis to feed. The background is greenish.
Macroglossum stellatarum (a sphingid moth) hovering to the right of violet flowers of a plant (Verbena). It uses its probiscis to feed. The background is greenish. You can clearly see the eye of the moth and its antennae as well as the reddish underwings though they are blurred due to the high wingbeat frequency.

A smooth green caterpillar with off-white stripes running down its back sits among pine needles on a pine twig. It has a reddish brown stripe in the middle of the back between two of the off-white stripes. The neck is turquoise and it has yellow stripes on the head.

Continuing the series of caterpillars that look like candy, this pine sphinx larva looks very edible. I'm sure it's not, though 😂
Note that this species of hawkmoth larva does not have a "horn", so I guess it's not technically a "hornworm".

Here’s yet another kind of pollination in Ipomoea: pollination by hawkmoths. This is I. alba, a fragrant, night-blooming species with a long, narrow corolla tube. #teammoth #Sphingidae #Convolvulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

La esfinge colibrí (Macroglossum stellatarum) es tan hermosa como difícil de fotografiar, especialmente por lo rápido que mueve las alas. Le hice más de 100 fotos para conseguir alguna decente 😅

A convolvulus hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli). It is a large hairly hawk moth. This species lives in Africa, Eurasia and Australia. The eyes are black and relatively large. The body and wings are greyish-brown. Fukuoka prefecture in Japan, October 2015.
A face shot. The head is also fluffy.
A view of a moth from above. There are outstanding patterns on both sides of the abdomen, but they are covered with wings and are not seen in this photo.

A close up macro photograph captures a diurnal sphinx moth in the genus Hemaris, family Sphingidae, hovering above a vibrant purple butterfly bush bloom. The moth is viewed from the side, its plush pale yellow thorax meeting a glossy black abdomen that ends in a cream band. Rapid wingbeats create soft brown arcs of motion blur at the edges of the frame, while the insect’s forelegs and long shiny proboscis stretch toward the nectar. Fine individual scales on the body glow under bright natural light. Large charcoal compound eyes, short facial hairs, and a single velvety black antenna sweeping forward are crisply detailed. The violet petals below are ruffled and textured, flecked with tiny grains of pollen. A smooth green background fades into deep black, isolating the pollinator and bloom and emphasizing the precision of the moth mid flight.
I spotted a beautiful sphinx moth (Hemaris) while relaxing in the sun and caught it sipping from a butterfly bush.

Beautiful!
A privet hawk moth, Sphinx ligustri, is a moth found in most of the Palearctic realm. They are impressive flyers!

Hawk-moth pupa, it just appeared on the slab outside my back door! It’s alive and kicking. I have no willow-herb, willow/sallow, Lime or privet in or near the garden. I await with interest to see what species emerges. #Sphingidae #hawk-moth #hawkmoth
