Look at this amazing Pandorus Sphinx Moth (Eumorpha pandorus) that was found on a car in a parking lot. It is a large moth with a wing span of 3 1/4 - 4 1/2 inches. The colors of light brown and olive green, along with this interesting pattern is a perfect camouflage for hiding in the foliage. This sphinx moth is nocturnal and is best seen during its active times which are dawn and dusk. These fast fliers can be found sipping nectar from milkweed plants, petunias, bouncing bet, and white champion. Their host plants are in the grape family such as Virginia Creeper and Peppervine. According to butterflyandmoths.org, Pandorus Sphinx moths can be found in "Nova Scotia and Maine, west through southern Wisconsin to central Kansas, south to south Florida and south Texas." I found this one in northeastern USA.

Nice moth @whatisnew !! It's a big one too O.o
Also If everyone posts from the Insect pub page they will post to the community feed to send it out to your followers you have to go to posts and ReSteem the post to put it on your blog page and send it out to all your followers. If you don't post on the community page it will not post into the community feed unless you cross post it to that community. Anyone confused yet lol
Also my entry for this week =)

Yes, I'm super confused because two posts appear and I don't know which one to upvote, or if it matters? How are we supposed to memorize the names/numbers of all the various hives for the communities? Ugh!
I totally dig your honeybee photo! @chromiumone

Normally you would see only one post,just trying to figure out how to posy into the hive feeds.
So I figured out that you need to post from the hive/ community page
lets take insectpub as an example.
To post into this hive I go to the hive page and click on the Blue button that says New Post.
Now set up a post as normal and tag it like always except do not use the hive- tag your already posting into the hives home page and it will post there by default.
Now your post will be in the insectpub feed(only). now after that go to to your profile page click the post section select the post you just made and ReSteem it. This will put it on your Blog page and it will go out to your followers,
If you don;t post from the hive homepage it will not show up in the hive feed unless you cross post it into the hive. You are seeing two posts because I was testing and did a regular post, and cross post, a hive post ect.

Thanks for the awesome writeup!😀
What are you accessing Steemit from? @chromiumone
Unfortuntately, I am stuck at step [minus] one "go to the hive page..."
I spent a couple minutes searching for anything 🔎"hive"🔍 using the esteem app search which resulted in nothing turning up. It's okay though. I know who the people are who regularly post to the hive community and can find the info I need there but "GenPop" does not. We will get there eventually!💫

I use the Regular old Steemit a lot. Sometimes I use SteemPeak.
To check out the "hive" communities I go to my Steemit feed page and to the left is this box
Hit explore communities and subscribe to the ones you want. the one you sub to show up as you see on mine to go to that community just click on it.

That sphinx moth reminds me of a military plane of some kind. I wonder what sort of payload it has. I have idea what the second brown one is. Maybe there is a spark of color under the wings. Here's a yellow theme for this week https://esteem.app/hive-100514/@sketch.and.jam/butterfly-day-yellow-theme

The second moth shape reminds me of a noctua pronuba but the patters are different. Who know maybe its a rare type of sphynx.

Your butterfly is beautiful. I have a Argent argiope, I didn't know they are blind. I love monarch caterpillars. Greetings.

Thanks, the argiopes only have enough eyesight to detect if it is day or night out. Most of their senses are from their web. They can sense small vibrations from wind or insects hitting their web.

Actually here is a photo of it hanging around on the netted curtain.

My pleasure Anne! I do love these moths and was happy to finally see one in person. It flew away real fast so I only got one photo.
I wish there were written instructions on "how to" when they make changes here. It would be so much easier for everyone.
