By Chris Grinter, on February 25th, 2013% Today’s moth is a beautiful species from the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver, Epermenia stolidota (Epermeniidae). This is actually a larger specimen than it appears, about 20mm from wingtip to wingtip. Those raised, darkened, tufts of scales on the posterior edge of the forewing is a great character for this . → Read More: Monday Moth Like this: Like Loading... By Chris Grinter, on February 11th, 2013% This week I’m sharing a tiny, scruffy, and semi-competently spread Nepticulidae in the genus Stigmella from the same light trap of Prescott Arizona as the past few Monday Moths.

By Chris Grinter, on December 3rd, 2012% Today’s moth is a stunning micro and another creature from Barb Bartell’s back yard in the Rockies. To the best of my knowledge it’s a species of Mompha (Coleophoridae), probably claudiella,but I don’t have a positive ID on this bug yet. Once I start digging through the micros from this site there are sure to . → Read More: Monday Moth Like this: Like Loading...

By Chris Grinter, on November 8th, 2011% Everyone is likely familiar with the standard model for a moth or butterfly – a straw-like proboscis to reach nectar hidden within flowers. The vast majority of the Lepidoptera have diversified alongside the radiation of angiosperm plants, becoming one of the most diverse and abundant orders of life on earth. This paradigm however does not . → Read More: Diversification of Moths with Teeth Like this: Like Loading... By Chris Grinter, on August 8th, 2011% This week’s moth is a video of a dancing micro from the Philippines (taken by Warren Laurde). As you might suspect this is a mating display that ends in a pretty spectacular headstand. There are lots of other microleps that have dancing or display behavior, but there are almost no other videos online . → Read More: Monday Moth Like this: Like Loading... By Chris Grinter, on March 1st, 2011% The family Nepticulidae hold some of the smallest moths known, ranging from 3-8mm wing-tip to wing-tip.
