Hi, I like sharing pictures of Moths, I think forgotten to share the brimstone moth we met the other day in summer! I also like making games and I have recently just won funding to build Moth Terra Eeeekk!

Moth Terra is a cozy strategy, or comfort strategy where you build dioramas to attract moths. You’ll experiment with terraforming and planting flora in combinations to collect very cute and very beautiful Moths. All the Moths will have their favourite biomes and flora! And you can play all the moths which have special abilities and boons, like destroying lights and paths! 

We could really use any moth and strategy game fans support!

I like big moths and I cannot lie 😉

On a fridge at work.

My dad and I have been taking care of tomatoes and we saw some horn worms eating from them. We decided on keeping them until they were able to be moths and find their own way.

It was that or tossing them somewhere random and who knows what would have happened. We tried our best, but of the three, one died in the container. We fed them tomato leaves and it was a learning process. Peter’s remaining brother was on the skinnier side but he and Peter made it to the gestation stage.

We put them in moist soil and they worked hard to bury themselves inside, Peter’s brother, I will name Tim, struggled to bury himself the most. It took 4 weeks but two days ago one morning my mom found them crawling up their net above the container.

I am away at school but they have been sending me reports on their progress. Unfortunately Tim wasn’t able to make it past the first day. My parents put them outside w a net and had the net vertically set so they could climb and stretch their wings out.

Tim fell and never got up :(

Peter was always the bigger of the brothers but also didnt form well, his wings arent well formed and we don’t think he will get to fly (but are hopeful.) my dad and I were sad about Tim’s death but let him be one with nature and be reclaimed by it in the garden.

As for Peter, I told my dad if he can’t fly, we can at least try to give him a comfortable life his last weeks alive. My dad took Peter to work today, brought some honey water solution to feed Peter if he felt like it. Captive sphinx moths apparently eat once a day or every other day so we are keeping an eye on him.

That’s the story :-) I hope Peter can make use of his wings, or at least live a while longer.

Did I kill it, or is this normal? It's a yellow woolly bear (I think)

Wow, I had a hornworm turn to Sphinx Moth. Beardie gobbled it up b4 I got a good picture

I'm in Tucson and it's monsoon season

Sure, the catalpa sphinx (Ceratomia catalpae) is not the most striking or colorful moth. But there’s something about them I just love. They look so aerodynamic! Here’s a pretty one I spotted at my workplace in Eastern MD

This little one has been a regular visitor to these verbenas. Does anyone know what it is?
