My gf told me I couldn't tell her this moth was a real thing. This link came in handy, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I'm not the girlfriend, but I also didn't believe it was real, so thanks!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

I refuse to believe that’s real.

Looks more like a Miro or Kandiski imo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Kandinsky was the first artist to come to mind

India and Asia

???

This was posted before the collision of the Indian subcontinent plate into Asia and the formation of the Himalayas.

Hmm. Dubbed “most interesting” because of its beauty. That’s a bit shallow don’t you think?

Do you know a moth who's good at conversation?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if it survives because its bizarre appearance makes predators too confused to consider eating it, haha.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Predators keep debating the meaning, intentions and technique and before they know the month fly away.

Time flies

I’m not usually into moths but that’s a good looking moth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

This one’s profile says it’s available for flights of fancy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If my understanding of brightly-colored bugs is correct, then that mouth is ultra fucking poisonous to eat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Then just don’t fucking eat it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If they weren't so rare I wonder how many people would catch, dry and cast in resin to make jewelry with them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ew.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

To think that moth didn't have a name until Picasso came around

And if it eats my cashmere imma stomp ‘em’ 😤
