Look at this pretty girl I found this morning!

She was in the grass in the backyard fluttering quite violently but not getting anywhere. I think she landed and got her wings too wet in the dew.

I brought her on the deck and put her on our purple basil to dry off. Seems she thought it was a good place to blend in herself.

a mess of mature promethea moth caterpillars (Callosamia promethea) wriggling plumply after spending a little less than a month fattening up on wild cherry leaves

a smaller relative of the cecropia moth, these are one of the less well-known giant silkmoths in the US, but they might just be my favorite species to raise.

Saw this cutie a little while ago. Preeeeetty sure shes a female Tuliptree silkmoth (Callosamia angulifera). The only reason im unsure is that tuliptree moths are SO similar to promethea moths (Callosamia promethea). They both live in my area, and i honestly don't know enough about moths to be able to tell the difference.

This is a male promethea silkmoth (Callosamia promethea). Also called spicebush moths after their favorite host plant. Here is a link to an Etsy page that apparently sells them to be raised.

Moths are just gothic butterflies 🖤✨

saw a big beautiful moth today, it looks like a tuliptree silkmoth, which makes sense, since there is a tulip poplar around. or a promethea moth?
