Beloved Local Moth

And finally, my favorite thing about hummingbird hawks: their adorable grumpy little faces #moth #mothoftheday #hawkmoth #hummingbird #hummingbirdhawkmoth #mothstagram #sphingidae

Excuse the fly corpses! It's amazing to me how you could pass over a resting hummingbird hawk without realizing how special they are in flight - they look so drab until they start flying! #moth #mothoftheday #hawkmoth #hummingbird #hummingbirdhawkmoth #mothstagram #sphingidae

This is a tiny lil Rosy Footman (family Erebidae) also found in Devon last summer, what a cutie look at that face! 🍂🍊 #moth #mothsofinstagram #mothstagram #mothoftheday #rosyfootman #footmanmoth #devon #insect #bug #erebidae

For our very first moth here is a euthrix potatoria, or 'Drinker' of the Lasiocampidae (Eggar) family 💙 found in Devon last summer - it's pretty apt that these guys have such an autumnal color palette because they fly July to August #euthrixpotatoria #drinkermoth #lasiocampidae #eggar #devon #moth #moths #insects #bugs #motd #mothoftheday
