Fly inside my room in Laos.

Fungus weevil (Platystomos albinus)

Stumbled upon this little goober on my way home from work. He was in the middle of the street and played dead at first (see 2nd picture).

He then quickly decided that I was alright after all and hung out on my hand for a while.

I found a nice leaf for him to chill on afterwards.

Saw this gorgeous moth. Immediately knew it was a sphinx moth based on size — anyone know what species?

I was amazed by how heavy he/she was.

I work at a retail greenhouse and I found this sweet baby struggling to move, outside on the ground by our roses. We had a thunderstorm last night and I think she got caught in it.

Anyways, I put her on a flower and continued working (periodically checking on her.) Around 3 hours later she was warm, awake and buzzing; so I brought her back outside.
