We call them Gypsy Moths here. I don't know if that's a local name or not.

Harmless. As kids we'd catch them and play with them till we got bored with it and let them go.

Moth from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The others were too big to get off the ground.

It is pretty interesting to find an animal like that on your porch.

Adult moths don't even have mouth parts. Some species' larvae are pests. The larvae of one kind of moth are what makes silk.

Looks like a Black Witch moth.




If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.
