National Moth Week is featuring the beautiful work of German artist Clemens Söllner marquetry. Clemens became fascinated with these creatures by observing the moths themselves. For him, the appeal lies in “recognizing the beautiful patterns on their wings, their furry bodies. Each species looks different and they are so beautifully silent,” an experience he described as “totally amazed.” His artistic recreations of their perfectly camouflaged bodies using the marquetry technique (inlaying wood v

It's #NationalMothWeek! Have you ever seen a hummingbird moth? Instead of a beak like a hummingbird, it has a long tongue-like proboscis that rolls out of its coiled tube to reach the nectar deep inside flowers. Its tongue is about double the length of the moth’s body. | NYS Department of Environmental Conservation

Grow up with our African moon moth caterpillars in honor of #NationalMothWeek !! The African moon moth (Argema mimosae) is a beautiful relative of the Virginia native Luna moth (Actias luna) and bears a striking resemblance. Fun fact: the tails on these moths help them evade predators! When they fly at night, African moon moths’ tails flop around, confusing bats’ echolocation! The bats may get a bite of tail but will be more likely to miss the body of the moth. This means that the moth is more l

Happy National Moth Week! Moths are one of many groups of insects that go through complete metamorphosis, meaning they go through 4 stages in their journey from egg to adult. Our sphinx moths start as tiny eggs, less than 2mm in diameter! After hatching, they eat as much as possible and grow to 70mm long. Once they reach their final size, they burrow into the ground to pupate and emerge as adult moths after approximately 14 days. While the caterpillars of all species of sphinx moths might be con

For National Moth Week, we’d like to share with you the unusual Hemaris thysbe, or Hummingbird moth (clearwing). At first sight, it’s easy to confuse this moth with a small hummingbird. And unlike most moths, the clearwing hummingbird moth is most active during the day. They absolutely love this bottlebrush buckeye. It’s always a treat to find one! #NationalMothWeek | Yew Dell Botanical Gardens

Happy #NationalMothWeek! Did you know that there are approximately 160,000 species of moths worldwide? • Many moth species are excellent pollinators and are active at night when most other pollinators are resting or sleeping. Nocturnal moths are generally attracted to flowers that are white or dull in color with lots of available nectar, while moths active during the day carry out a similar behavior to butterflies and can be seen foraging on a variety of colorful flowers. • Seen in the video bel

A beautiful Luna moth greeted me this morning — how appropriate for National Moth Week @mothweek! Seeing a North American Luna Moth (Actias luna) is rare due to its brief adult stage (7-10 days) & nocturnal flying times. Sadly, this one probably got confused by a bright yard light. Luna moths are part of the subfamily Saturniinae — the giant silk moths group. During its short adult life, these moths don’t eat, instead focusing on mating while surviving off fat stores from their caterpillar stage

It’s National Moth Week! To celebrate, here are two different angles of luna moths as they painstakingly cut their way out of the silk cocoons they built as caterpillars and overwintered in as pupae! Adult luna moths (Actias luna) have a unique way of emerging from their cocoons using sharp “spurs” at the base of their wings. Most of their giant silk moth cousins rely on an enzyme known as cocoonase, which they secrete in order to melt perfect escape holes from their cocoons. Luna moths use this

Gwendolyn Erdosh on Instagram: "Happy national moth week!! This adorable little wiggly moth Tolype distincta, in the family Lasiocampidae. They are native here in Northern California and have a distribution around the west coast of the US. I think this behavior is a weird defense mechanism but I’m not 100% sure why they do this. It’s adorable though. As I was going through my camera roll, I found these videos from 2022 and thought it would be perfect to post them for moth week! I want to share s
