You're looking at a ceanothus silkmoth, which can be found up and down the Pacific Coast, including coastal areas and forests. We saw this one deep in the forest of the Upper Green River Watershed, an ideal habitat for this colorful moth. The adult moth can fill the palm of an adult's hand with its huge wingspan. They have reddish-brown wings with lighter margins and long, check-shaped white marks on their hindwings. The bulbous body has orange and white stripes and looks very fuzzy, and they ha

It’s National Moth Week! To celebrate, here are two different angles of luna moths as they painstakingly cut their way out of the silk cocoons they built as caterpillars and overwintered in as pupae! Adult luna moths (Actias luna) have a unique way of emerging from their cocoons using sharp “spurs” at the base of their wings. Most of their giant silk moth cousins rely on an enzyme known as cocoonase, which they secrete in order to melt perfect escape holes from their cocoons. Luna moths use this
