The Spanish Moon Moth is not only absolutely astonishing, it is basically a relic from the ice age. The conditions in the small areas of the Pyrenees where it is found have remained stable, unchanged, for a few million years, allowing the small remnant populations of this moth to survive in these small habitats virtually unchanged. Small populations of the species can now be found in France and Switzerland, but those are consequences of more recent human actions. At the caterpillar stage, it is quite a picky eater and primarily feeds on the needles of only two species of pine trees.

#Autumn is here in #Ottawa and that means it is time for the march of the woolly bears. These #caterpillars make their way to winter hideouts and then freeze solid over the winter, surviving thanks to their built-in anti-freeze. In the spring they thaw and carry on, spinning cocoons to emerge as tiger moths.
Rocking the Black Velvet!
Six-spotted burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) resting on grass in a meadow near Mersehead, Scotland, United Kingdom.
This is easily one of the coolest moths I've photographed. There were loads of them in the meadow and I first thought they were Cinnabar moths until I looked closer. Isn't he dapper?

We have seen hummingbird moths in the flowers every year, but not like this one! I think this is a humming bird bee moth, but the internet is unclear from pictures I researched.

Heute diese kleine Kamikaze-Raupe entdeckt. Ist zwischen unseren Füßen rumgewuselt. Und beinahe platt getreten worden. Gehört zur Familie der Kleinen Nachtfalter, hört auf den Namen Ringelspinner....
