Bug of the Day
This walnut sphinx (Amorpha juglandis) was so fresh and beautiful when it showed up at the light! Also, just realized, this needs to go on my list of genera that are used for more than one organism type - there is also Amorpha fruticosa, a leguminous tree.

Walnut sphinx moth (Amorpha juglandis)
This specimen that came to my light trap is a female who laid eggs after being briefly placed in a container, and I’m currently rearing a few of her caterpillars.
when these caterpillars are larger, they’ll develop a defense mechanism unique to this species- when threatened by a bird, they force air out of their spiracles to create a noise that mimics a songbird alarm call warning of a predator. Experiments have shown that the mimicry is accurate enough to make chickadees leave them alone as they try to hide from the caterpillar-generated hoax.

White moth = saltmarsh moth Brown moth = walnut sphinx (remember the screaming caterpillar?) Green stink bug Brown stink bug
I wanted a moth on every finger, but couldn’t find enough. So I settled for bugs. But the green stinker wouldn’t cooperate, walked over the sphinx’s face, made him pee all over me, then walked over the saltmarsh moth’s face, peed on me himself, then flew off. Rude!

some bug pics from the past month. walnut sphinx, acorn weevil, and jumping soider
I love them all deeply but I would die repeatedly for the weevil. Great photo lol
@mindintoword submitted: I found this moth in southeast Texas with some very pretty dead leaf camouflage. They were easy to get on my hand and then didn't wanna leave. ID if you'd like, otherwise I just wanna share this cutie
What a beauty! This sweet angel is a walnut sphinx :)
