A glasswing butterfly alights on a heliopsis, Mindo rainforest, Ecuador, Dec 2021. Glasswings look fragile but they can carry up to 40 times their own weight #glasswing #butterfly #inaturalist #ecuador #rainforest #mindo #insects #heliopsis #southamerica #wildlife #jungle #naturephotography #nature

@soundoftheforest.bsky.social i wanted to show you some of my insect embroidery! (apologies if they’re not 100% anatomically correct- i’m trying to get better about that) #art #insects #entomology #embroidery

Here’s a video of a fascinating little critter from my daughter’s garden. Is it a bird? Is it an insect? It’s a hummingbird moth.  #nature #gardens #insects

We’ve had so many hummingbird moths at the nursery and I’m loving it. Such amazing insects. #moth #insects

A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland. #wildoz #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #insects

Please enjoy this ridiculously cute butterfly, which was about the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's in the butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae). Males, like these, have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4 (females can use all 6). Sarota acantus; Costa Rica 🐙🌿 #insects

Red Admiral. Superb photo of this European and Asian butterfly taken by Ian Kelsall in the UK. #RedAdmiral #butterfly #savebutterflies #nature #butterflies #insects #pollinators #BigButterflyCount #bsky
