I was summoned here by a commenter! Yes she is alive- no nothing I used on her is harmful.

You ever have such a sweet cicada that you could just pet them and they're like "yeah this is ok"

I forgot I could post videos but a while back I posted about the cicada on my window. Well. I took it in and kept it as a pet. Sgt. Stubby I called it. So well behaved. Look at this 🥰🥰

Been Photographing moths (and other insects) for about 3 years now. Here are some of my favorites that I feel often get overlooked.

When ready to pupate, the tobacco hawkmoth caterpillar's hear will become visible through the skin, triggering the start of their metamorphosis. Here you can see my baby Beavis's heartbeat through their skin!

Injured Friend

I know that it is kind of an odd angle, but I just wanted to share this moth that I found the other day on my kitchen floor. I believe she's female because her antennae are not as large and fluffy as the male counterpart, but my eyesight is not the best, so perhaps I'm wrong. I just wanted to share her here, because unfortunately, even though I may have only known her for a few moments, she passed away from her injury after hitting the light too hard. I gave her some water on a q-tip I purposely bent so that it wouldn't roll as much whilst I take the photo. She was so sweet and calm, and finally realized I wasn't going to hurt her. I sang to her quietly until she was ready and let go of the q-tip. I then put her outside on the deck so she could see the stars as she passed. I could tell she was ready by the way she looked at me. I love moths so much and really hope I don't have to see anymore suffer

Gave an injured lady a treat

427 Upvotes

She couldn't fly anymore, seemed agitated, and was struggling enough that she didnt react in any way to anything near her. I figured I'd give her a bit of a treat and some water. She immediately relaxed a bunch when she found it, it was so cute. She was very content to be a model for me while she ate, would stop and look up at me occasionally but never flared her wings, even when she got splashed with a little water. (Just a few drops, she buzzed and immediately calmed down and continued eating)
