Please enjoy this lovely plume moth (Geina sp.), doing what I can only imagine is a set up pull ups to show off its buff wingspan ;-).

BUG OF THE DAY

BotD 12 - 04/02/24 It's not tomorrow yet!!

This is the Southern African Slug moth!

These gorgeous insects are a prime example of why you shouldn't touch strangers. Coming into contact with the larvae of these fascinating moths can leave you with sharp, brittle spikes in your skin that administer a poison that causes itchy welts all over your skin. But besides the horrors, they really are quite lovely! These moths can be found across Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and usually show up in Spring, though they tend to flourish in mid-summer. These insects don't have much information about them, but their colors speak volumes!

"I think I have grown, I have aged, I am more comfortable in myself, I suppose, than I was in my early twenties— because early twenties there's a lot going on; we're all just trying to figure out who we are. So I don't think I have [changed], but I must have. I would hope that I have, honestly, in ten years I would hope that I have. I would hope that every job I've done I've become better. I feel like I'm, over the last few years— again, I suppose, in a way where you just feel a little bit more comfortable in your own skin — I feel like I'm more cognizant of my choices. And I was always very empowered by my agent, always. And I think over the last few years the stuff I've got to do has been really cool and interesting. But I feel like I've always strived for my own best I suppose is the best way of saying it. I've always strived for that. And I'm always curious and I'm always open. And I think honestly at the root of it I just f*cking love film. I love films, I love performances. It always has been so exciting to me about embarking on a new thing, and terrifying, too. But what something can be and the people you're going to meet and the actors you get to work with and the directors you get to work with, it feels like an ever expanding thing. And so I suppose in that way my acting world feels bigger and bigger and bigger each job I do." —for Backstage, about looking back over the 10 years since The Force Awakens premiered

Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!

I wrote Glory Days about a time when things felt simpler, the early days of touring and experiencing the explosion of 5SOS front on with my best friends, those times are in the past, and although those times blessed me with everything I get to experience now in the present, I can comfortably say they were truly the glory days that ill cherish for the rest of my life

I was coming back in after a disappointing night at the lights last week, and came across this glorious chonkbeast on some Virginia creeper growing under my porch. This is a Pandora sphinx moth caterpillar (Eumorpha pandorus). Look at its squishy little donut feeties!!

BUG OF THE DAY

Am I late this time? No way!!! This is the Gaudy Sphinx Moth!

These fluttery fellas are anything but gaudy, bearing beautiful emerald coloring. As with most Hawkmoths, these moths have a splash of red lining their underwings. That, along with their sharp, angular wings make these moths an absolutely stunning species! These moths can usually be found in North, Central, and South America, but commonly fly long distances, and can occasionally be found in strange places. The larvae of this species have distinct eyespots, meant to resemble that of snake eyes. Their disproportionately large, shiny "eyes" make them look almost like a Pok��mon in their larval state. Truly an amazing creature!
