Blinded sphinx, Paonias excaecatus! Sphinx moths are very pretty, good choice!
Do you have a favourite moth?
A sphinx moth. You see them a lot in the summer. Like June and July.

my autism has me cooked guys. I just smartassed someone in a server about the difference between blue day moths/long blue tiger moths (dysphania palmyra) and blue tiger moths (dysphania percota--also the blog mascot)
Look at these fellas though. It's understandable to mix them up, especially w/ the long blue tiger versus blue tiger thing, but they Are different!!!

Dysphania percota, blue tiger moth

Dysphania palmyra, blue day moth/long blue tiger moth

heyo. I'm mod Redshift, he/it/they. I really like moths and butterflies. I'm going to identify them here
Note: I only accept moths and butterflies (however I may ID a skipper sometimes)

This is a blue tiger moth, dysphania percota. This fella is the mascot bc one of my friends really likes this moth and I agree with xem completely
Enjoy your stay at the lepidoptera autism zone
Tagging system is just kinda. Moth = this post contains a moth. Butterfly = this post contains a butterfly. Not a lepidoptera = self explanatory. Other tags will be species and scientific name of the species in the post
