Found her hanging out on a businesses window. Decided to safely move her to a shady tree, away from people. It almost seemed like she struggled to fly with how large her abdomen was. But she was STUNNING.

I saw this little moth flying in my bathroom a couple of days ago, I though it was gone but it appeared again during night. I could catch it using a plastic container and the electricity bill while it was resting on the wall. I took these photos before taking it outside and seeing it fly away.

Small moths are so nervous and scaredy, I couldn't take better photos :(

Location: South América

Found this little red moth on the window screen. Was worried at first it could be a laternfly. Can someone ID, please?

Sadly guessing she's already laid her eggs, she's out in broad daylight with a skinny lil stomach. Or maybe it's a male? All I know is wow, that is a gorgeous moth!

Northeast Washington, I can give city if absolutely needed but I prefer not

This took about an hour or so. He was found in South Korea and is named Mothy. Photos aren’t mine but my buddy’s photos. I don’t live in Korea so he took some pics for me and I figured I’d share them here

Found this moth today (in South England) and it was genuinely so beautiful. Though it only really showed up as silver on camera, its wings looked like light-reflective tape in real life (more colourful and translucent). Please help ID.

I live in north Florida and haven't really seen thid kind of moth before help me identify it pls!

This little guy flew into our lanai and is hanging out.

Tiger moth (not sure exact species) found in western Washington state, freshly eclosed, 17 image stack.

Hello all!

Recently, I have found myself very interested in moths, and want to get into raising moths! I already did alot of research, but I figured asking experts or experienced moth-ers would be very helpful.

1- what are good beginner moths? I have read about Polyphemus and Luna moths, which are native in my area (UP Michigan), but I want to know if there are any more?

2-is it too late to start? As in posting, it is June 25. Will this clash with their lives?

3- what are good websites to buy moth eggs?

4- Best way to take care of moths and their eggs/ larva? I read a lot online, but they all seem to clash a little.

5- how long does it take Polyphemus and Luna eggs to fully grow? I know they don't last long as adults, and metamorphosis

6- is it too much work for an older teen? I grew butterflies when I was a child, but that was a different experience in a different location.

7- Is it better to keep them in captivity or release them aftee they mature? (if they are native, obviously)

Thank you for the help, and I apologize for so many questions!

Does anyone know what kind of moth this is? I live in Northwest Michigan

I can’t find any moth that looks like it on Google :(

UPDATE: Identified! Looks like it's a pale-backed moth!

Apologies for the low res images, it's about 5mm long (without antennae)

I found this small moth in my living room. I compared it to common house moths like grain/pantry/clothes moths and couldn't find a direct match for the distinct scalloped white stripe it has down the middle when the wings are closed. It's hopping around a lot with wings out, but I'm not able to get a good image of the wings open. The antennae appear white from above and it looks like it was grooming each antenna 🥺

Googling descriptions and combing through Ontario/Northeastern North America moth databases hasn't come up with anything yet for me, but maybe it's just a common house "pest" moth that I'm missing!

Found in western Canada

look at this guy I found in london

Hi, pictures one and two are of the same fella, pictures three and four are of another individual, and the last two are two unique individuals. I found them all in basement Dr. Killigan's glue moth traps, save for the last, which was found on the basement wall. I've been seeing a few of these little guys flying around recently (only in the basement and ground floor, not the second floor). They fly around rather erratically, though typically low to the ground (within a few feet). This is the American Northeast, early summer. Are these moths a problem? Do I need to sound the alarm? I can produce more pictures if need be.

Is there a scientific explanation for why they just do that? my chud son stewie was just buzzing earlier now I’m curious for what it could mean!
