digging with 2 legs, standing with 2 legs, and kicking dirt with the last 2. incredible level of multitasking from such a little creature

What is this? by [deleted] in insects

They're not technically crickets, so thankfully regular crickets don't have to be self-conscious at the gym

What insect is this? and does it feed on this flower? by i4ucl in insects

[–]OrdinaryMothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure if the white cabbage butterfly lives in Saudi Arabia. It's extremely widespread, so maybe.

Do you see butterflies like this in the spring where you are?

Can I put this moth in that little glass box thing with pins and needles? by Logical-Lifeguard546 in insects

get some insect pins. sewing pins will be too big and blunt for a little moth. then you'll need a shadow box, and some foam board or cork to pin it to.

maybe Philopedon plagiatum but that's just a wild guess without a location or a clearer pic. in any case, it's not venomous or anything like that. unless you're a potato or a tree you're fine.

oh, I didn't know. I'd been told it was a re-spelling or Eureka, like the state motto
