I came up with some stupid mnemonics for remembering how to distinguish tobacco and tomato hornworms, both of which eat tomato plants. #moths #mothweek #tomatoes colinpurrington.com/2015/09/dist...
Distinguishing tobacco and tomato hornworm caterpillars » Colin Purrington's blog
Tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) caterpillars have stripes (seven of them), so remember that by thinking of Lucky Strikes cigarettes (seven is a lucky number; stripes sort of rhymes with strikes). Plu...

I found your adult moth pollinator buddy, but I think that maybe he woke up on the wrong side of Hell this morning?

Now that you’re super stoked about #moths from #mothweek, check out a paper I published this year that I’m very proud of.

Spoiler alert: the tree composition in a forest fragment predicts the abundance of specialist and generalist moths. More #keystoneplants = more moth diversity

The name Clymene holds great significance in Greek mythology as a forename for princesses and a water nymph.

Some call it the “goth moth” for its coloring and upsidedown cross design.

The rosy maple is named for it's rosy color and maple because they lay eggs on maple trees.

Female moths give off pheromones which attract male moths to mate with - this is what inspired me to have my moth people be able to sense each other's pheromones.

#mothweek #mothmara facts final day!

Facts about my WIP Skater Moth!

Yes it is based on the song Sk8er Boi and you probably have it in your head now don't you?

It was inspired by this lovely meme pictureed in this graphic.

It has a cylmene moth and rosy maple MCs!

Moths are more effective pollinators than butterflies and pollinate at night.
