In honor of #NationalMothWeek I will be posting #moths. We start with the amazingly beautiful Hieroglyphic Moth, Diphtera festiva, which I have only seen once.

A photo of a yellow, iridescent blue, black and shimmery gold moth sitting on my finger from above. The moth's wings are spread, the head is black. The forebody is yellow with dark blue iridescent stripes The forewings are yellow with the dark blue iridescent stripes on the front part, the rear part of the forewings are yellow with three rows of tiny iridescent blue spots. The hind wings are black with a bright golden sheen to them.

A photo of the moth from the side showing the yellow and dark blue iridescent stripes and spots on the wings

Night night to you all, folks, especially those of you on your own. Sleep tight. I saw this yesterday. A Cinnabar Moth caterpillar. Great camouflage. Only had big lens on. Apologies. #MothWeek #Moths #BloomScrolling #NationalMothWeek #macro #photography #ECK

Close-up photograph of a Cinnabar moth caterpillar with distinctive black-and-orange bands climbing through a spray of bright yellow ragwort flowers, its natural food plant. The caterpillar grips a green stem as it feeds among jagged leaves, flower buds, and patches of fine silken webbing. Softly blurred blooms in the foreground frame the scene, while the smooth green background highlights the vivid contrast between the caterpillar’s warning colours and the golden flowers.

Black-dotted Spragueia Moth (Spragueia onagrus) on foxtail grass seed head (genus Setaria) yesterday at crew flint pen strand Bonita Springs, Florida 7-22-26 #MothWeek #NationalMothWeek #MothWeek2026 #teamMoth #moths #insectThursday #ColorADay #YellowThu #eck #threeWordGenre #nature #macro #art

Small moth hanging vertically from dew-covered grass bristles against an obsidian backdrop, highlighting its large, spherical, compound eye, colored a pale sage green with a central charcoal-colored pupil. A long black antenna bends around the eye.
Striated bands of rich amber, ochre yellow, and dense charcoal black cover the moth's textured wings. Minute, shimmering dew droplets cling to the edge of its wing like tiny glass beads, mirroring the larger water spheres resting on the surrounding terracotta-tinted grass awns.

I just loved meeting this Hummingbird Hawk Moth. So here’s another shot for the last day of #MothWeek #NationalMothWeek #Stunday #macrophotography #ECK

A hummingbird hawk-moth hovers in mid-air as it feeds from a cluster of delicate white flowers. Its long proboscis is extended into a bloom while its rapidly beating wings appear as a warm orange blur, giving the impression of a tiny hummingbird in flight. Fine details of the moth’s furry grey-brown body and antennae are sharply captured against a deep black background, which makes both the insect and the sunlit flowers stand out dramatically. A few faint strands of spider silk are visible among the flower stems, adding another subtle layer of detail to this striking wildlife photograph.

Meet the Air Shrimp! Ok, actually it’s called a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth but it really is shrimp-like. They absolutely love these Wild Bergamot flowers. #MothWeek #NationalMothWeek 🌿 #invertebrates #BugSky #NativePlants

A large dark red moth wit a cream throat and khaki colored head hovers next to a cluster of lavender flowers.

I almost forgot it’s #NationalMothWeek! So here’s a giant, gorgeous White-lined Sphinx Moth (I think.) #invertebrates 🌿 #MothWeek #BugSky

Look out for that yellowjacket..... wait that's not a yellowjacket, it's actually a Riley's Clearwing Moth! They are amazing mimics that host on the Horse-nettle plant. It's National Moth Week July 18 - July 26. #MothWeek #NationalMothWeek #moths #nature #photography

A black and yellow striped moth with lovely red markings on its clear wings.
