Bug of the Day
Moth couture dictates that one must always properly accessorize whenever headed out for a night on the town, even down to the legwarmers.

@hauket submitted: We found a cristalis in our house under a dog bed last night, i realized they were still alive and put them in a little jar on my desk with some tissue and a stick, they hatched this morning!! I dont know what they are but i was happy to find them in time to let them go, from southern california :)
Oh how nice that they were still alive and emerged so soon! Chrysalises are for butterflies, though, and this is a moth, so it was a cocoon, or either could be called a pupa. Anyway it’s a noctuid moth probably in the genus Leucania!

Bug of the Day
Copying over some recovered archives and came across this lovely Noctuid from 2012. Turned out to be Leucania inermis, the unarmed wainscot. Thanks to Paul John for the id.

What a cute little fluffy bunny!!! (Ok, fine, it’s a moth. A species of Leucania, to be exact-ish, either L. inermis or L. pseudargyria, I’m thinking it looks more like L. pseudargyria.)
Thanks to Paul John for the id.
