This pretty little guy was crawling around on the ground bc we had a mild cold snap in the desert (tucson,az ) let it crawl on to my jacket and put it in a tree so it was safe.

Its been a good season this year for the pollinators!

A couple of the moth friends I've seen around lately. I think the yellow and black guy is a tiger moth? What about the other friend? Indiana for rough location. Thank you!

He got a little stuck, but teamwork makes the dream work.

The unfurling of his wings is at 100x normal speed and was actually about an hour. The unfolding is only at 8x and was about 45 minutes after his unfurling finished.

Silver Y pupated in a very unfortunate spot. This was supposed to be a temporary enclosure until i clean out the proper one - he was super small compared to the other ones i had, i didnt expect him to pupate overnight. Anyways, should i move him? How do i care for him right now?

Also does anyone know how long hell be pupating for?

I forgot a banana outside on the deck, and something chowed down on it. Then, all these moths decided they were interested too!

I don't really know anything about moths, just thought that was kinda cool.
