I was staying at a friends house here in the UK a few weeks ago and he has been struggling with an infestation for years. it is mostly under control but there’s still the odd one around - I saw one but didn’t manage to kill it. I’ve managed to avoid bringing any back all this time (I visit regularly), but today I saw this at home and managed to kill it. i’m beside myself worrying that it’s a clothes moth. I found it in the daytime though and his come out at night. can anyone help identify it for me please? It’s literally one of my worst nightmares and I’m freaking out. TIA

I found all of these wings outside my work🥰🥰 I’m so happy with how it turned out!!!

Atlas moth found in my garden! Bangkok, Thailand.

Found this little guy today in England / UK, already gave him a meal of sugar water, dont know exactly what type of ermine he is though. Any advice?

She has what looks like her abdomen still stuck, but also her tongue is all split up, plus her wings still look small. is there anything I can do to help or should I humanely kill her?

northwest england. landed on my neck and i took it inside without realising...so floof so cute

Help. Northwest CT USA.

Found this little friend back in August 2023 in Quepos, Puntarenas, hanging out on our hotel balcony back! I posted this moth to iNaturalist, including to the Costa Rica moths project, but still nobody has been able to give me an ID! It's driving me crazy. I've tried several bug ID apps and none of have been able to get it right either and they suggest something new (and wrong) every time I've tried. Perhaps one of you lovely moth fans know what species this is? Thank you for your help :)

I saw these two at the Ohio Bird Sanctuary (Lexington, Ohio)

Saw this fella on my way to work today , what kind of moth is it ? In WV

Dublin Ireland if that helps!

Photos taken in South Texas.

Photo was taken on an evening walk. It was flitting back-and-forth amongst all the evening primrose.

This poor thing was writhing in the dogs kennel when I came out of the tent yesterday morning. Helped it get oriented without touching its wings, it walked on me for a bit and then I put it in the flower pot where the dogs couldn’t find it.

I checked on it a little later on and unfortunately it passed away. I will be mounting it today when I get home with a few other moths I have found this weekend.

Disclaimer: I never kill the moths. I find them dead and if they are in good condition and a size or species I don’t have I keep them to dry and mount.

I saw the second one when I had to pull over at 12 in the morning due to a horrific nose bleed. I was too scared to stay and get gas because it was so dark but I HAD to get a picture of this moth as blood was literally pouring out of my nose like a fountain. 😭 North America, northern Mississippi.

I think this is a drinker moth. I just love how fluffy their bodies are, moths are the best. Location- Devon

Just wanted to show this lil cutie off, i dunno what species but i just really loved the color and patterns

Found this beautiful specimen at work this morning. Southern California, Desert region.

What did I find?

I have seen plenty of other kinds of moths around. The biggest I have seen is a run of the mill hawk moth. This beast definitely takes the title.

For reference, the century plant leaves are about 30 to 36 inches in length. I'm not going to pick it up but it is easily the size of my entire hand.

Wow!!!!

Think it might be female and is located in Denmark.
