Only if you bite first!

How do I get rid of the small ones inside my house?
You just ask them politely to leave.

Update #3! Rosy Maple Moth : UNLOCKED! Luna Moth: REVEALED!
Our pink and yellow sweetheart is officially joining our unlocked pins, and will be produced along with the Death Head moth!
As extra motivation, and as promised - now that we have reached the Rosy Maple Tier, I get to release our next stretch goal! The Luna Moth! At $1100, which I feel is obtainable with this many days remaining, she will join our line up as well!
Thank you for all your support! Things are going so well and I am so happy so many people like my designs!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE?
I’ve just been here waiting for you!
This pudgy lil’ African moon moth from my work wanted to say hello!
Found this incredible Imperial Moth by my porch lights this morning! First time ever seeing this species!
This is a large North American moth in the family Saturniidae, the same family as other impressive moths like Luna or Promethea Moths. Adult moths, like this one, lack functional mouthparts, and do not eat during their short adulthood.
I live for cool moths.
How long do months usually live? What do you do with them when they pass away?
It varies for each type of moth, but generally not a very long time; some a few days, others a few weeks or months.
I usually only photograph the moths that happen to land on my porch. When I do find a caterpillar to raise I let them go after photographing them. Always at night though! I don’t want them to be easy prey!

where do you work?
Well, if you mean where I photograph moths, that would be at my home in the mountains of western North Carolina. If you mean where I actually work, I am a lab technician at a medical laboratory. Thanks!
