First moth advice
I found this little guy out in the middle of the street and decided I wanted to try to keep him safe till spring. I have kept a cuple of insects but I have no idea how to deal with moth pupae,where is the best place to keep him and how moist should it be,I think it's a privet hawk moth but confirmation would be great.
I live in the UK,any advice would be helpful.

Orange Moth - Northern Thailand
Spotted in rural Northern Thailand, only about 1.5cm long. Kinda looks like a grinning face if you squint 😁. Anyone know the name?

I tried for 10 minutes to get him out my house last night. At this point he might as well move in. Meet Bentley. He might not be the prettiest looking moth but I still love him

Identification help please
I found this little one under a rug on my porch. I’m not sure if it’s even alive, but I’m keeping it in a container for now. Anyone know what it is or if it’s alive?

What type of moth is this
I’ve been finding a few moths in my apartment. I think this is the third one. I did have my doors open last week and windows. I’m worried that they are eating my clothes. I bought some mothballs and they are pretty smelly and I would like to take them down if possible, do we think this moth came from outside or came from my winter clothes?
