Today marks the end of #NationalMothWeek, and I will post several more banger #Moths before returning to my regular variety of #macro content. This is the Ornate Bella Moth, #Utetheisa ornatrix, a colorful moth that I often see visiting Autumn wildflowers.

A bonus post for the #nationalMothWeek. This is another banger of a moth, the Giant Leopard #Moth, #Hypercompe scribonia. The dark markings as seen in the closeup of the head are iridescent blue, also note the spots can either be open or filled.

Te #Mothening continues! For this the 7th day of #NationalMothWeek We go large with the Polyphemus #Moth#Anthera polyphemus spectacular member of the #Saturnidae family. This is a male, the feathery antennae help him find the pheromones of a female.

For today's #NationalMothWeek I present some fun members of the Grass #Moths, family Crambidae.

1. Orange-spotted Flower Moth Syngamia florella
2. Zebra Conchylodes Moth Conchylodes ovulalis
3. Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth Spoladea recurvalis
4. Pondside Crambid Moth Elophila icciusalis

This years #nationalmothweek has been off to a slow start but what always intrigued me is how each year seems to have a #moth of the year. This year is the #skiffmoth - it has visited each night that we have mothed.

The #Mothening continues! For this the 6th day of #NationalMothWeek, I present a double feature of two of my favorite moths for utter fabulosity, The Rosy Maple#Moth, #dryocampa rubicunda, and the #IO moth, #Automeris io. Both just stunningly gorgeous.

For #NationalMothWeek enjoy my linocut Rosy Maple Moth. The delightfully fluffy and cheerfully coloured Rosy Maple Moth (Dryocampa rubicunda) is printed in lemon yellow and pink, with collaged pink paper, with charcoal eye and orange anteanna on delicate Japanese gampi paper with some bark inclusions. Each print is 5" x 7" (12.7 cm by 17.8 cm).

Today’s edition #TheMothening features a special guest! This is the Angulose Prominent, #Peridea angulosa, of family #notodontidae #moths. I see a resemblence in the face of this moth, with the Bark Lynx Spider, #Hamataliwa grisea. Is this actual mimicry?

For today's episode of the #Mothening, I present MOTHOUFLAGE! This is what I believe is the Common Gray #Moth, Anavitrinella pampinaria (not 100% sure on that ID)

Saturday July 22 starts the beginning of National Moth Week! Moths are not boring … much like this Clymene Moth that rested on our Zucchini plant tonight. Mothing is easy - all you need is a light and a white sheet to get started. Visit National Moth Week’s website and socials for more info! #nationalmothweek #clymenemoth

With my avatar, Haploa clymene, it's always #NationalMothWeek!

As it is #NationalMothWeek, prepare yourselves for the Mothening.

We start today with one of the more fun #Moths, the Hieroglyph Moth, #Diphtera festiva.

It’s National Moth Week, July 22 -30, to celebrate the beauty, lifecycles & habitat of moths, so I’m reposting my eclipse of moths (the delightful term of venery for a group of moths).

This hand-printed lino block print shows 5 of the noctural moths of Ontario in front of the moon at a lunar eclipse:…
