Moths

The following is a collection of moths that I've photographed over the past couple of summers. Some were found around my farm during daylight, and a few in the evenings around the porch lights. If you're interested in seeing my most recent photos, writing or other work, please visit my nature blog, Burning Silo.

wonderful collection.

Is this thread still active? If so I have some pics of a black/green moth I found in my bathroom that I am trying to identify. If anyone can help please email me at barobbins@live.com

Jean I have a story I think you would be interested in but much to long to put down here. I was involved with a Prof. from Yale U. in raising Hyalophora crossed with eastern Cecropia to prove a 1927 thesis by a grad student. He had heard about my experience in raising 178 Hyalophora larva to pupation. But my main concern here is the moth that emerged last night. I had brought a larva down from a rocky trail last summer and arranged soil and leaves for it and went to get my camera and it had quickly disappeared under the soil. I thought I had ID it to Pachysphinx occidentalis. But when it emerged last night I realized my mistake. My cat heard it fluttering in its screened container at 10PM and I hurried to get the camera to snap a photo and it escaped. It was buffy with what I thought were white lines on its head and fore wings. But NOT a White Lined Sphinx after seeing photos of its larva. Do you have any ideas? I especially enjoyed your Hyalophora photos, I also have many. I wonder if you have heard of the Austrian lepidopterist, Gerhard Tarman (Wall Street Journal 1/29/2003) who succeeded in having yellow sodium street lamps replacing the the bright white ones in 298 towns resulting in additional action by companies and other towns in Europe following this example.
Thank you for all the wonderful photos. Pat

Doing a project for children at my church and I was glad I found your website. I never knew there are sooooooo many different beautiful moths. I enjoyed seeing them and maybe I will have my children to visit the website as well and see which are their favorites. They all seemed to be my favorite. Thanks for the efforts you've displayed in bringing these nature pictures for viewing and studying.

Thanks, Philip,
I have yet to photograph a Luna or Cecropia here at my farm. However, I do know that there are Cecropia around as I've found their caterpillars and cocoons. The only Luna caterpillars I've seen were at Murphy's Point Prov. Park, but I do think they may be around here too. I did photograph one in 2001 while I was in Nova Scotia. I think they may be more plentiful there. Here in eastern Ontario, I think the large moths are under a lot of pressure from parasitic wasps. - bev

This is a uniques series and beautifully done! I am surprised that there is only one emperor moth among them. Perhaps the lunar moth and the cecropia moth do not occur in your area.

excellent !!

Without seeing a photo of the moth, the only thing I can think of is the Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus). Here are some photos of that species: http://bugguide.net/node/view/427/bgimage
Or, maybe you saw a male Io Moth. The antennae of male moths are usually thick with many teeth, sort of like on a comb. I imagine there's some variation in the coloration of these moths, so that might explain a more orange colour. Again, difficult to say without seeing the moth.

Saw a moth today in Hales Corners that looked like an Io, except that its antennae were dark and almost furry looking. Also the top of the moth's wings was a pale orange shading to light yellow. Spectacular! What was it?
