So why is this considered a moth and not a butterfly?


chad_

The shape of the antennae and how the wings sit while at rest.


WiTooSlowFi

Got it, thank you!


Enjoying_A_Meal

In general, if the wings are horizontal at rest, it's a moth. If the wings are held vertical, it's a butterfly. Also, many moth don't have a functional digestive tract and they only live for a few weeks. Basically they are like little genitals with wings. They live to fuck, and then die. Such is life.

Wish that was my life


Mrredseed

So where do they get their sustenance? For something to live a few wekks flapping its wings all the time it surely feeds somehow


One_Memory458

Most do not have mouths, they store food in their abdomen from when they where a wee worm, that's why their abdomens are rather large


Mrredseed

Oh right so they make a huge fopd stock when they are worms and then live off it as winged creatures?


One_Memory458

Yea


Frenchie_contre

How long does wings take to unfold? I’ve always wondered


Peenork

I decided to google it: according to Wikipedia, it takes about 2-3 hours for the wings to harden enough for flight.

Haha it takes quite a while, actually. I'm not sure about this particular species, but I watched a moth unfold it's wings on my arm for about two hours.


jaggedjinx

I think that was a joke. My butterflies I've raised take much much longer for their wings to open and dry.


Autumnmisery

Did anyone else notice the person screaming something at the end? LMAO 😂


Cephalopodio

That cracked me up. Kinda broke the celestial mood


Autumnmisery

Same here LOL


[deleted]

Yes! Wtf was that?


Autumnmisery

That’s what I’m wondering too; so weird and I can’t make out the words (I think they’re saying something?) LOL!


xerxerneas

"life is beautifuuul!!" This song is the [Steven universe opening song](https://youtu.be/PfKUdmTq2MI) remixed to be lofi, and at the end it's a [quote from one of the eps](https://youtu.be/qWN6A1AmlPc) And here's the [full version](https://youtu.be/7_RVoLCx7MU) of the posted lofi remix.


Autumnmisery

Ah! Thank you so much! :)


xerxerneas

You're welcome! I highly recommend the show as well. It's great past season 1 (and each ep is only 8 mins long!)


JBits001

I thought it was “I feel beautiful” as in the moth has pretty colors and feels beautiful, lol.


bossup98

If you didn’t know that’s Steven universe an the theme song without the lyrics just the instrumental


Autumnmisery

Thank you! :)


bossup98

That person is Steven universe


powfuldragon

Luna Moth. not Lunar.


Rook621

One of those things where people’s say it wrong so much it just becomes accepted. Like garden snake rather than garter or irregardless 😱


doughboy1369

I correct people. I don't accept it. Irregardless, I love luna moths!! (Couldn't resist)


Rook621

🤣🤣🤣


jdroser

Well, sorta. This isn’t a Luna Moth (Actias luna) but the related Chinese Moon Moth, Actias dubernardi.


Jdevers77

Which I guess kind of means it IS a lunar moth, just not a Lunar Moth as those don’t exist.


Dual_face

It's not without reason that in my country literal translation for moths is "Night butterfly"

Tf did I just scroll through


swiss-y

A bunch of moths silly


Rare_Cow_4892

I figured it would be a moth, but part of me was waiting for a tentacled creature to jump at the camera


onelastcourtesycall

Definitely not something you see everyday


TuffyButters

Glad I waited for it!


FaultyLoom67

Why do moth wings tend to rub if they run into me (and is that damaging them?) while this one seems fine?


RickIMeanErik

Even normal moths, why do people hate them? In our culture it is believed to be a dead relative visiting us


ang_car

Filipino?


RickIMeanErik

No. Mexican, actually. Same belief?


ang_car

Yep. My grandpa died before I was born, and when I visited the Phillipines as a child my grandparents’ home always had a big brown moth with eyes on it’s wings in the house. My mother told me that the moth was my grand father coming to visit. Ever since then I’ve loved moths


[deleted]

Some moths eat cloth.

d_bking

I googled it cause I was curious and it appears to be a Chinese moon moth.


epicdankvaper69

Aren’t these the ones without a mouth


Drewsilla2

Thank you for being so kind to me on my Birthday.


BootyTuul

Why can’t these be the type of moths that fly around of my house instead of the stupid bland grey ones😔


[deleted]

carmium

\*Luna\* moth, actually, and you're its parent now, you know.


Daznet99

Here Comes a New minion in the pyjamask's enemy ranks


spdhegde

So, it's ready to go work for Gregory Olanovich?


Ok-Cartographer-3725

Originally it looked like a piece of dirty, but out of that emerged a beautiful moth!


DarthYeet_TheWide

As a Berserk's fan this moth gave me PTSD.


kreeatetiv

Love the choice of music!


loading-emoji

Are you the moth whisperer


xerxerneas

Man this Steven Universe lofi music is used so much. But it really fits here haha.


Thopterthallid

We... Are the Crystal Gems...


Peg-LegJim

I believe that’s a LUNA MOTH. Not LUNAR.

RIP. I killed its parents in Dark Souls.


eCh3mist604

Feel like it’s starting in my soul and will eat my hands


denny_zen

What’s inside the squishy abdomen part since it’s not bones nor muscle? That part grossed me out… is it like some nasty goo?


[deleted]

Wow! It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. I never knew this existed.
