I keep things around just for some of my moths. I put a slew of IO moths in my nursery tank today. They usually eat my crape myrtles but, it doesn't hurt the trees and I just let them go at it. Also have raised many varieties of Sphinx moths, the one in your photo is the humming bird moth which is a type of sphinx moth, you even see tem during the day a lot. The Sphinx moths actually do a lot of pollinating, more than most people realize. I think they're a beautiful and useful moth.
This is a picture of one I hatched out and released.
