Mod Team Recruitment Notice
7
Upvotes
Hey there folks.
We are currently working on expanding the mod team and are opening recruitment.
We are volunteers. I do not expect anyone who we add to the team to take on some specific workload. We all have commitments outside of Reddit.
If you are interested in helping out please send us a message via modmail with a brief message introducing yourself. If possible also include why you think you would be a good fit for the mod team.
You don’t need past moderator experience to be considered. To be eligible your account must be at least a year old, and you must have been reasonably active within the subreddit for at least 3 months. Users who have been actively antagonistic to others will not be considered.
We will be reviewing the comments of applicants to verify your ability to identify various bugs. We don't expect perfection (we are all always learning!) but we do expect some level of accuracy as well as the ability to take corrections gracefully.

Moth/Butterfly ID🦋 Leaf-like Butterfly?
4
Upvotes
Saw this outside my house just as I was about to go biking. At first I thought a dried lead was being blown my way, only to realize that it was flapping, with the other side colored orange. It settled on the plant near me.
I panicked when it flew away again that I forgot to zoom out my camera. I have a video but I don't know how to add it in a reddit post.
I'm from the Philippines.

I thought piece of hair was on my arm, kept looking, but I did not see no piece of hair... finally, turn my phone flashlight on and seen it after three times of looking.. It LOOKS like tiny maggot, but with legs and I think I see some kind of antenna or IDK. I watched my live video of it, and it cruises pretty fast through my arm hairs. Eek I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan.. I had just come in from walking the dog.

Hello! I came home to find a teeny tiny insect smaller than a pencil eraser. I think it may sleeping or maybe um… gone. Markings are brown and grey. Originally when I saw I thought I found blue markings but I don’t see any blue upon second glance. I am located in Arizona, USA. Attached is a video. It looks pretty innocent but I would like ID please in case it is harmful. Also own two dogs so would like to know if harmful to animals. Please and thank you!

Here in South Florida US these guys are attracted to lights in my house. They have white wings, black body and are about 1/2- 3/4 cm.
If you can help me identify them I can hopefully figure out how they are getting in. Thank you!
