If Coyotes Are Just Indie Wolves And Wolves Are Just Bass Boosted Dogs What The Fuck Are Moths To Butterflies

if coyotes are just indie wolves and wolves are just bass boosted dogs what the fuck are moths to butterflies

this is a pic from a while ago, but I've always kinda wondered what it was. could you identify it? found in Kentucky, not sure how specific you need for location :)

This is a very pretty female imperial moth!! The males look similar just with a bit more brown on them

The caterpillars are also quite cute and can vary in colour according to which stage of growth they're in or which morph they are

Some moth people I’ve been doodling

Merry Chrysalis!! (to those who celebrate)

Found this pretty little thing a while ago

Any idea what it is?

Saw this and immediately knew it would be a sphingidae moth/sphinx moth!!

This here is a blinded sphinx. They sometimes expose their eyespots, which look like this:

And the reason they're called a blinded sphinx is because their eyespots have no pupil.

Super cool :)

(credits to insectidentification.org for that info bc while I didn't directly quote their website and I'm sure the information isn't exclusively 'theirs', there was a very strongly worded footnote abt plagiarism and i am afraid they will hunt me down)

@cassowariess dw it's not too late! It can be chrysalis all year round if u want it to be :)
