I don't want it to die, I put it back in the garage, I figured there was a reason it was in there in the first place? Any help asap would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Souhtern Oklahoma and last night we had this huge moth on our porch. I took some pics of her, and I was wondering whether you could tell me what species she is?

Identified a 8 Spotted Forester but this one had much redder upper legs. This was at 2002 Palo Pinto Dr. in Austin Texas, 03/08/09. Is this an endangered species?

Hi, i am Miranda from the Netherlands and I was in East Texas for holiday. I took a picture of a moth in Goodrich. Can I email it to you, Its not in your gallery. It is a big one, light yellow with grey spots on its wings.

I live just east of Dallas and have noticed several large black/grey moths that are frequenting my canis every late day. They look like hummingbirds with a long appendage that is inserted into the flowers. They are approx. 2.5 to 3 inches in length. I beleive the bodies are black with yellow spots. What are these things?

yeah, so i have to know the common name of a moth for a biology project, so thats why im here. its small brown, and i think it has some spots, its also dead, but when it was alive before i caught it, it stayed in the same spot underneath our outside light for 3 days, and was very trusting, and didnt do anything until the container was sealed.
