The Hawaiian sphinx moth (Manduca blackburni) is a hawk moth and could be the lost pollinator of the Holulu - an Extinct in the Wild plant that we grow at the Indianapolis Zoo as part of our White River Gardens collection. #MothWeek 8/

And here is a stunning moth spotted at the Indianapolis Zoo recently by one of our Horticulture staff members. Thank you, Joseph, for sharing your photo of this cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia) - which is the largest moth species in North America. #MothWeek 9/

Happy #ReverseTheRedDay! Today is a day to celebrate #conservation success from around the world as zoos, aquariums, botanic gardens, nonprofit organisations, civil society partners, and communities take action to protect #biodiversity. @reversethered1
