In this episode my return guest is Zach DuFran. In his last episode (S3 E8) we chatted about his background, birds, and moths. In this episode we just talk moths! Please follow the links below. Thanks Zach!

Zach’s photos of the Black Witch moth, colorful eggs, and various instars of the caterpillars.

Zach’s photos of the Pin-striped Vermilion Slug Moth caterpillars, both in daylight and at night under UV light.

Zach has some photos of incredible mimicry in moths. Petrophila moth which looks like a jumping spider when perched.

One of the Clearwing Moths that look like wasps.

This is not one of Zach’s photos, but one he mentioned. The Malaysian moth that has evolved to look like two flies eating bird droppings is Macrocilix maia.
