I love these moths because they always look like they’re trying to recover from an ego-shattering faceplant in front of their ~peers~.

I feel ya, moth.

this moth, omg

This moth looks like a creamsicle and I like that.

Mimas tiliae, also known as the Lime Hawk Moth, is probably one of my favorite moths. Hawk moths in general are pretty awesome; species in their family Sphingidae have the fastest wing beat out of all insects being that many of them mimic the flight style of hummingbirds. They’re also the most devoted pollinators in the Lepidoptera order, and many of them are found in the tropics and (usually Southern) United States.

Smerinthus cerisyi of Sphingidae.

When alarmed, resting adults exhibit a very striking defense mechanism: the body is hunched and the wings are flicked upwards to display a pair of glaring ‘eyes’, one on each side of the abdomen (which seems to resemble a beak at the presented angle). Following more disturbance a more dramatic scare tactic is used; this startling ‘face’ is further enhanced by repeated lowering and raising of the forewings, causing a blinking effect to the ‘eyes’.
