Small point - the third image is in fact an #owlfly, not a #moth.

Incredible photographs and commentary on neuropteran larvae by Gil Wizen. He's not on Mastodon so I can't link to him so that you all can follow. He has a nice newsletter you should sign up for. #owlfly #lacewing #insects #nature #macrophotography #entomology #australia gilwizen.com/stop-tricking-me-

A striking owlfly with a black body, yellow spots, and delicate, transparent wings rests on a slender twig. Its large, iridescent eyes and long, clubbed antennae are visible, set against a blurred backdrop of forest floor and foliage, highlighting its intricate details and vibrant colors in a natural setting.

While out checking for moths I found an owlfly last night (Ululodes sp.). First time I've seen one. They're related to lacewings and antlions, and more distantly dragonflies and damselflies.
