I'm not sure about the identification on this one so I'm just calling it the pretty orange moth. Photographed in Maryland
This moth is a new species for me. It apparently is named for the hook-like wingtips and arched wings. It ranges from 1 to 1.5 inches in length and is common in North America.

Atlas moth, also known as the "Snakehead moth" or the "Queen of the Moths," is one of the biggest moths in the world. You’ll find these giants in the tropical forests of India, China, and Malaysia. With their earthy-colored wings and snake-like patterns on the tips, they’re built to impress and scare off predators!

The bright colours of both the larvae and the moths act as warning signs, so they are seldom eaten by predators. An exception is among different species of cuckoo which eat hairy and poisonous caterpillars including cinnabar moth larvae.

I saved her from being run over by cars because she was on the street and looked like a dried up leaf. I picked her up and when I placed her on a bush, she flew right onto my thigh where I manged to get a few shots😀
For National Moth Week, here's a lovely sphinx moth in Montana, photographed at around 5:30 a.m. with the dawn sky behind it. It's Smerinthus sp., I think S. astarte but maybe S. ophthalmica or S. cerisyi. Some sphinx moths drink nectar, but these have reduced mouthparts and adults do not feed. I think it was worth waking up early.

This is a photo of a Giant Atlas moth . Native to Southeast Asia, these moths live only two to three weeks and their sole purpose in life is to mate. When they hatch, their mouths are undeveloped and they do not eat - only mate. They are quite large, with wings averaging up to 12 inches in width.
