If you are at @oshwassociation Open Hardware Summit (or are just in berlin), I have a *couple* extra mothboxes I could probably get to you AT COST!

#ohs2026 #YearOfTheMoth #teammoth

This spectacular moth is likely a Montana Six-plume moth, this variant on the plume moth is one I've been hoping to find for a while now. I just love the feather-like wings it has! Size wise this is around 0.3 in/1 cm wide, such a tiny fuzzy creature

In celebration of #YearOfTheMoth, the Mothbox team hired an artist in Panama, David Francesco, to create a fun sticker pack so you can more adequately express yourself online via Moths!

Another cocktail for a moth that was new to me last year.

The Nonpareil

2 parts Bottega dark chocolate liqueur
1 part Cointreau
1 part Amaro Montenegro
Garnish with blue sugar sprinkles

The moth is the Clifden Nonpareil, or Blue Underwing, and 'nonpareil' is also a word for a chocolate button covered in sugar sprinkles.

This isn't as sweet as it sounds, the Bottega isn't too sweet and the bitterness of the Amaro tempers it a bit. Indulgent but sophisticated.

First time seeing this moth, the Ornate Tiger Moth, such a good name for this beautiful moth. It visited my sierra mountain light trap and then hung out with me the next morning.

Researchers uncover 10 new moth species and 7 new genera in Hawaiʻi

"Among the discoveries is Paalua leleole, a species in which the female moths appear unable to fly. Several of the new moths were named to honor Hawai’ian culture, including Iliahia lilinoe, named for Lilinoe, the goddess of mists on the Haleakalā volcano, on the island of Maui."

Last #YearOfTheMoth of my 30's!

Heterogynis penella.
This alpine moth females remain a wingless grub who lays eggs in her old cocoon and then gets devoured by her babies.
