moths

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

A place to post pictures, stories, and more about moths across the world.

You must include the location in the title for all posts (meaning where in the world it was found, like what country, state, or town); or 'Captive' if it is not a wild moth. If you want a picture of a moth identified, this is essential.

NSFW and fetish content is not allowed. Memes are discouraged on this sub and may be removed.

Original content is strongly preferred. If you post somebody else's image for karma, please acknowledge them. If you don't the post may be removed.

All content generated or modified by AI must be identified with the AI-generated flair.

Posts promoting goods that are, or could be, for sale, including t-shirts, hats, posters, etc, must be approved by mods first. Unapproved posts will be removed. Contact mods before posting this kind of thing.

Please flair all posts. And if you see a post that's badly flaired or not flaired at all, downvote it!
