In this video I show off a technique using a black light over night to collect moths. This technique works best in the mountains or woods where many moths species dwell. This one I put out near Palisades reservoir on the border between Wyoming and Idaho in the United States. I left this light out multiple nights and found some awesome moth species that I wanted to share with you.

That spiky winged one might be a lappet moth
You have the coolest channel. I love it!
Thank you! 😊
I don't know how you can resist catching and pinning most of these little guys. I love the beautiful colors and patterns so much, but I have yet to learn how to collect and preserve them indefinitely apart from pictures. I guess that's why I'm here!
Make sure you wait until they die from natural causes
sure are a lot of different moth types ya got there, good haul.
I love your bug/insect knowledge....just like most little boys, I used to catch all kinds of bugs for fun and SPORT....IT was way better than watching TV!
amazing variety! i love the little white feet on the ones with the little "eyes" :) you probably get this question a lot, but which camera do you use? it looks awesome for low-light macro photography!
btw - on the moth with the hidden "eyes" that has 2 things sticking out of its abdomen, i believe those are for finding/attracting mates! you've got a little casanova on your hands!
Wine ropes can also attract moths. I made a wine rope before and I saw a big moth in it
Another great episode. So many wonderful moths.
That’s cool, I feel like the moth might be a spirit animal of mine. There’s something mysterious and magical about them. I love the fuzzy legs ❤ I hope to hatch some ❤
Just finding your cool videos...it is like watching you grow up in fast forward, lol. Thanks for your work!
I finally got around to posting this comment ... mainly to say thanks for the honour of being the first photo on your 'Wall of Fame'. Green Tiger Beetles are pretty exotic looking creatures in my part of the world and it was my first day looking for them so you can imagine how excited I was ... beginners luck I guess!
i found a tiger beetle that was a good model, he sat nice and still for a long time.
Those are some cool moths
I really appreciate this channel and all the information that is put into it. Have you ever considered writing a book?
Not yet. Maybe one day. I have a hard enough time making videos and putting in that time. A 5 minute video can sometimes take me 30 hours including planning, filming editing and travel.
Would you ever be able to make a videos, if you haven’t already, on proturans (best soil sample?), megalopterans, plecopterans, or even phasmotodea (I cannot find any!). These are just my personal favorites :)
Yeah I don't have a ton of experience with most of those groups, but if I run into some in large amounts or a situation that is interesting enough to share then I may make a video on it at some point.
Moths are my favorite
Cool
You are my hero
nice I like that wasp moth
I love moth
what a great video! i will have to try this sometime soon. also- what camera do you use? the quality's remarkable!
Canon XF400
Hmm, I wonder if I was in ur vid, I love black lights being a moth myself
I don't know, but your ability to type and interpret human writing is quite impressive.
Insect Hunter Thank you! A lot of peeps are impressed by it!
SO MANY FLOOFIES
I live in north Alabama and I spent roughly two hours on Google trying to find the name of a beautiful moth that I've seen several times around the house , it's solid white , but it has a black dagger design down the center of it's back , where the wings come together, the hilt of the dagger sits on the head . Never did find out what it's named lol . Can y'all tell me ?
were did you buy the black lights
Tiger beetles are awesome.
Yes they are! Congrats on getting your pic on the wall. Fate chose you. You rolled a natural 20 to get added. I didn't even know it was you when I chose it until I looked up the photographer.
@@InsectHunter I can't wait to see what your other subscribers have submitted!
Good work bro 👍👍
Plz make video on bugs
Ha ha I don't think I have released any videos on topics other than bugs in a long time. Let me know if you had something specific in mind haha.
Hemiptera?
@@archegon1298 Heteroptera

Where did you get your black light?
Out of storage from a colleague, but you can buy them on amazon for about 20 bucks. I haven't tried with LEDs, but should still work although they generate less heat so they may not be as effective as an old fashioned light bulb.
Any link for the black light?
Sorry just about any blacklight will do. This is a really old model.
•••I’m so getting a black light •••
They are worth it.
Have you ever caught any io moths or Polyphemus moths?
Not that I am aware of.
Lamp
Did you identify any other than that first one?
No I haven't yet. Moths are such a challenge to identify unless they are really unique. Otherwise you have to be a moth expert and study the veins of the wings which is too much of a time commitment for me.
I thought you had to dissect out the genitalia to ID a lot of Leps down to species?
Correct me if I'm wrong: I've tried to do research on the moth species you have here.
First, the one you had in your hand that revealed the beautiful eyes on its underwing may be a Beautiful Yellow Underwing: butterfly-conservation.org/moths/lime-hawk-moth
On the beautiful white moth with the large black spots, after much searching, I didn't find anything. It is possible, though not likely, that you have discovered a new species. Please let me know if you find out what it is, I would be very interested.
Yeah I am not sure. Thanks for sharing the info though.
Might be a salt marsh moth.
I love bugs you should check them out on my channel.
Second :( But first 10 seconds and it's already a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it hopefully till the end.
@@InsectHunter Yes i enjoyed it till the end but in the end it was sad because video was over.
@@chad7111 I do not use discord :/
some spam bot spammed to every comment in this video, about some bug hub thing.
First
Congrats!
intro is too long
Wait why do you do all this stuffs? If you killing them, just for collection or money... you are nothing else than monster...
