Thyas juno on one day. A giant moth whose scientific name is Juno, the Roman goddess (Hera in Greek mythology). Although it is a ‘common species’ that we can encounter every night in Karuizawa, its bewitching design, in which red and blue demons seem to cohabit, is one of the most beautiful of all Japanese moths and personal favourites.

いつかのムクゲコノハ ローマ神話の女神ジュノー（ギリシア神話のヘラ）を学名に冠する大型の蛾。軽井沢でも毎晩のように出会う「普通種」だけれど、赤鬼と青鬼が同居するような妖艶さあふれるデザインは、日本の蛾でも屈指の美しさと感じる個人的に大好きな種。

This is super cool actually!!

Conjoined twins moth

Leave a porch light on and wait for a few hours!! Then go check. If you want to photograph the moth, catch it with a jar and put it in the fridge in that jar for around 3 minutes (the fridge not the freezer, which could kill them). Use macro mode, diffused lighting for emphasis on the patterns of the moth rather than its form, and find something to support your hands with if they're shaky (I use books).

Also try looking in dense vegetation or on the sides of trees for moths resting in the daytime.

Hope this helps :)

Thinking of trying to attract and photograph moths

Any tips? Your favorite way to do this?

Hello hello!!

Fun fact about caterpillars: they don't actually walk using their legs, they walk using their bodies.

In order to work properly, muscles need leverage. With humans, our skeleton provides this leverage. Our muscles are attached to our skeleton, and contract against it. However, caterpillars have no skeleton. So how do they move? The substrate the caterpillar is walking on provides the leverage. Its prolegs (those stubby looking legs) attach themselves to the substrate, enabling the muscles in its body to contract, moving the caterpillar along. The prolegs also contract, but only to move up and down, not forward.

These gifs from @caterpillar-gifs show that pretty well I think

I'm bored do any autistics out here wanna tell me fun facts about moths and butterflies

Oomf, don’t cry. 160,000 moth species in the world, ok?

Oh yeah, they do that to warm up their flight muscles!!

I have never physically felt the fear of a bug until just now.

A lil' moth scuttled across my desk and onto my mouse as I was eating my oatmeal, so I picked it up and carried it outside in my closed hand. Lil guy tried so hard to fly out of my hand, and when I got outside and opened my hand, it just stayed on my index finger and it was shaking so much it was vibrating. I brought it to a tree in my yard and after about thirty seconds it flew off when I brought my hand off the tree.

I felt so bad for the funky lil' dude.
