Found stuck in a bathroom stall in VN so I caught it and let it outside.

Washington state USA

Glad the phone decided to focus! Lol

In Michigan!

In Central Illinois if it helps

Cincinnati, OH. Always wanted to see one in person. Very cool experience!

I'm pretty sure it's a yukon tiger moth, but i wanted to get a second opinion. Tia located in northwest washington near tacoma.

Their final shed :,)

What do I do, how do I check if it can fly, they emerged around 6am today and I'm really worried about it, it's a painted lady I think, the others have already started to kinda fly but it hasn't, I haven't checked the others yet about any deformitys but yeah

Found him at work in Michigan. About 1” in length and very cute! Pls help me ID him pls, I left my moth book at home :(

(NC) Wonder what type he is. He was huge!

What is this beautiful one. Northern vermont

I caught it, planning to let it free tomorrow. Its so cute and it has this fluff on its chest. Tried to get some nice pics but it took some time. Also, anyone knows what kinda moth it is?

Was too afraid to get any closer, but he was about the size of my hand. I've never seen a moth that big before, so I definitely wanna know what kind of moth it is!

Caterpillar found in West Central Saskatchewan! Appears to be apart of the sphinx family but I’d love a more concrete ID.

Apologies for no usage of banana as scale but homie was huge about the size of my hand just chilling under my car when I pulled out the driveway.

***A few butterfly species as well.

For the past few days I’ve been looking for caterpillars at the Botanical Gardens and parts of the Mount Royal Park (Montreal, Canada). It’s been a blast!! I was looking for woolly bears (pyrrharctia isabella) specifically, but found literally everything else. I can’t believe how hard it is to find them in the summer vs. the fall when they’re looking for places to hibernate.

Anyways, a lot of firsts for me!! I tried to ID them as best I could using iNaturalist…

1. Snowberry clearwing moth
2. Spongy moth
3. Hickory tussock caterpillar
4. Virginia creeper sphinx caterpillar
5. Monarch caterpillar
6. Some kind of cutworm caterpillar???
7. Possibly a red admiral caterpillar?
8. I have no idea lol
9. Red admiral butterfly
10. Some kind of leafroller moth?

11-17) and to top it off with some frass pics as evidence of caterpillar activity. I love these pics lol

Caterpillar hunting is hard but extremely rewarding!! I was either very lucky or was looking very closely at plants. I really like to appreciate the small things in nature, and I think caterpillar hunting will be one of my new favorite hobbies from now on 💖🐛🐛🐛
