The Snout Moths Come in Many Different Colorful Patterns

Hidden in the Grass Back in September, when I was returning home after a hike, I flushed several small striped moths out of the grass on the back of my property. Fortunately, this time I didn’t flush any of them into a spiders web. But I did follow one to try to get some photos. I was intrigued to see what they were since they were so small. Had I not disturbed them, I would never have seen…

literally so sad when i have a dream where im seeing all these bugs around and im like hell yes i can't wait to take pictures of them all. and then i wake up and it was a dream. tragedy

#i mean this time it was mostly all bugs ive seen before #like this one really pretty moth i forget if it's a pyralid or a crambid #but #i was at my moms house in the dream and she was complaining about the bugs and i was like no tbis is awesome #(geiger counter clicks)#inaturalist #its going in that tag bc part of the joy of the dream was the prospect of being able to post them on inat btw

whereas most crambid snout moths appear dingy brown from a distance (though many are beautifully detailed up close), Urola nivalis shines like platinum in a grassy field.

my phone wasn’t able to capture how lustrous and satiny they are in person, but this is a very neat and elegant moth. they also don’t flee when approached for a photo, that’s the confidence of a bug who knows it’s pretty

Im sorry they are faded, and if they arent clear enough i get it!

Sorry that im unfamiliar with the proper terms, but information i tried to focus the search on was the lil triangular "nose", lack of that fluffy back plate, and thin antannae. It was found in [removed] indoors during the day.

i found a moth that looks similar thats called udea rubigalis but theyre in america

it’s not a crambid snout moth like Udea, but a hypenine snout moth (Erebidae)! I think maybe a Hypena, but they’re tricky and I can’t say for sure.

I hope this doesn’t come of weird, but i see you reblog moths a lot! Which one is your favorite and which one is your least favorite?

Not weird at all!!

My favourite is prolly the Crambid Snout Moth!!! They just look so silly like look at the one that landed on my last night

And obv I super love lunar moths, they’re super pretty! So are the elephant hawk moths!!

My least favourite tho? Definitely the Creatonotos gangis. (I actually have been meaning to design a character based off them bc how wacky they look)

They’re still super super cool tho!!

Male margined green pearl moth, Parotis marginata, Crambidae

Note: The bristles at the end of the abdomen are a structure known as a hair-pencil. Hair-pencils are found on male Lepidopterans and used for pheromone signaling. The pheromones secreted from the hair-pencil glands serve as an aphrodisiac and tranquilizer for females, and sometimes as a repellent for males of the same species. The hair-pencil structure is stored inside the body until courtship begins, at which time it is everted.
