Hmm, ok i thought the bristles are too short, and the white spots too small. But maybe that varies. Thanks
edit: should have taken that for the who/what/where thread, but did not know the answer myself

I always thought that King Cobras were the coolest animals ever, they still are the coolest, but the prettiest is the Blue Tang.

Stay on topic young sir if you'd be so kind.
TIA

They aren't particularly fluffy or long-haired (like STEED) and if you'd used that in the Who/What/Where thread then I'd have got it first go

Yes, sir, old fart.
I think that my favorite moth is the Pandora Sphinx, found in my home state.

Four Marbled White butterflies that I caught and pinned while on honeymoon on the Isle Of Wight, August 1986

It says moths on the title, I assumed that was what it meant, we don't call moths here butterflies.
Monarch butterflies are pretty to me, I am sure they are to everyone else.

Yes they are. My sister killed this one with a baseball bat in a garden in Pennsylvania when she was a kid

We go camping in Petoskey, Michigan at the State Park there. Beautiful little town, but that's not what I am here to talk about. We go camping there for like 12-14 days and our grandparents come with. Our grandparents this time arrived a day earlier than us and they took a bike ride down a trail and they (my grandparents) said "The trail was full with flying Monarch butterflies." I wish that I could've had a picture.

Yeah same one! Once a butterfly or moth has been properly 'set' and has dried out, it will last for ever... so long as something like napthalene (mothballs) is used around the boxes to keep the wings from getting eaten by other moths
On my one and only trip to the US we visited parks like the one you described... it was weird seeing these unfamiliar butterflies flitting all around us outside. I couldn't name any of them, even though I knew all of ours

Not sure what caterpillar this is, but Im sure it is a type of moth. Found it on our patio and (very carefully) relocated it to a bush

I thinks it's more likely to be the larva of one of the Nymphalidae family of butterflies... either a Silver Washed or a High Brown Fritillary, a Painted Lady or a Large Tortoiseshell... something of this kind, but not a moth
I only have reference for European insects, so it could be you have something there related to a British type Thanks for posting that, mate

I also think that a Blue Morpho is a beautiful butterfly. What parks did you go to in the US, Eichhornchen?

Difficult to recall now... I think one was called Penn State Park, or something like that... and a place with a preserved working timber mill called McConnell Mills, surrounded by woods. We saw a shining blue or purple butterfly rather like the one you posted in those woods, but it may not have been the same ... I don't know my US butterflies
