Found this beauty on a random sidewalk and was captivated by the patterns on its wings!

Male or female?

I spotted this fascinating little moth resting on a leaf while exploring around Haar (near Munich). I was immediately struck by how incredibly long its antennae are compared to its tiny body. I believe it's some sort of longhorn moth (Adelidae family?), but does anyone know the exact species?

Don't worry, it was alive. I just moved it somewhere safer so no one would squish it, and it flew off. Had a receipt, so that's what I used to pick it up.

While reading in my room this sweet moth fluttered right by me! I’m not sure how it got in my room or when, but it’s so cute to me!
I’m curious what type of moth it is?
Can I build it an enclosure and keep it?
I know they don’t live long, and if it would be happier outside for its short life then i’d love to have it be happy!
If it would thrive in a warm house with a mesh enclosure i’d be happy to build it one!

Edit for location: Near Vancouver, Canada!

I found this cutie patootie little moth outside of my apartment and safely relocated it to a nice little tree <33

there's a moth on my porch & just wanna know what it is! I live in the southern California area

Welp I didn't expect to have a little moth at this time of the year... A little Autographa gamma found against the window of my bathroom! :) So I just opened the window, and it managed to go. I hope it will find a good place for winter, because I don't want it to have any issues with some anti-bug treatments we tend to have in home. But at least it's free and out of danger

Enjoy the cutie!! 🤎

This Rothschildia jacobeaea is laying eggs and I want to raise some. What care should I take?

What moth is this? What's up with the broken wings? Is it a predator bite or disease or a pattern?

I had to brighten the image. This was in Florida. I thought this moth was very interesting. It appears to have triangles at the bottom I think. They were so adorable. Surprisingly big because normally moths in my house are small.

Argentina. I saw it fluttering about on the concrete, so I moved it to the side to keep anyone from stepping on it. Sadly, by the time I was able to return, it was already dead. I suppose it was in its final days; it kept moving its wings, but it couldn't fly, and it barely moved its legs.

Solved: Metaxaglaea viatica
Originally I didn’t see the faint kidney bean outline on the middle of the forewing. The zig-zag pattern at the bottom of the wing also looks like a perfect match. Thanks for the help!

Original Post
Columbus, OH. USA
Night of Oct 26 2026
On glass under overhead outdoor lamp. Roughly 50F.
Approximately 1.25inch head to wing tip, roughly 1in wide.
Copper and tawny color, head appeared quite orange. Wings do not appear to overlap severely when at rest.

Didn’t see it move at all, but didn’t appear injured. Only saw this single individual. Checked the ODNR site for common moths, the closest one I found was a “bronzed cutworm moth”. However, it didn’t appear that fluffy at the head or shoulder, the wing edges also did not appear fuzzy like some examples.

Thanks for the help! It’s a very interesting moth, I just can’t figure out what it is.

One of my favorite local species, chickweed geometer moth Haematopis grataria

First time poster here. I had an Imperial moth lay some eggs by my front door, but I'm afraid maintenance might destroy the eggs when they clean the walls. I've never cared for moth eggs before but I don't want them destroyed. I'd appreciate any advice on how to care for them until they hatch and can be safely released.
