JamesKinghamPhotographyHummingbird Hawk moth<br>
<br>
The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. <br>
<br>
The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution<br>

Graced by this absolute beauty--a dark queen of the night.
#MothOfTheDay
Little #moth activity recently. Summer visitors dying off and autumnals yet to get going. It is only the 1st day of autumn today, so a little patience needed.
Just 3 visitors overnight, including this autumn species:
LUNAR UNDERWING
Anchoscelis lunosa
Named after dark crescent on (not visible here) hindwings.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful moth of all?

Saw this little cutie and thought of you. He has the amazing name of American Dagger Moth.
One REALLY does not want to touch it.
One day I'll really get into mothing. This toadflax brocade moth (Calophasia lunula) was one of many pretty finds earlier this year!

Oak twig with a labyrinth-like feeding tunnel made by a bark-mining caterpillar, likely Zimmermannia bosquella (Nepticulidae). I look for these whenever I'm near an oak and bored, but have only seen these on a single tree in Media, PA, USA. #lepidoptera #moth #caterpillar #insects #oaks #quercus #entomology #pennsylvania

@donray There is a moth that looks just like that one near my house. I live in Japan.
