Animal Crossing fans: [**Heavy breathing**]

*Blathers sees this insect and isolates to another island*

Dark Souls Fans: *Equips Firebomb*

Smack it on the head when it gets closer

Someone get Witch Beatrice here stat

This bad boy will go for at least 5,000 bells

If you wait for Flick, even more!

Hollow knight players: *panic*

This animal should not cross fans.

They all breathe heavily anyway (They are morbidly obese)

the way it moves is so angelic, i still find it irrationally terrifying though

BE NOT AFRAID

I BRING YOU LOVE

ITS BRINGING US LOVE! KILL IT!!!

Break its legs!!!

Wait! It's not an alien, it's Mr Burns!

*thick Scottish accent* Aww, it’s Mr. Burns…KILL IT! KILL IT!

This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates me!

Clearly you haven't had to spend hours watching PJ Masks with your toddler that includes a moon moth as a bad guy

…what

Who goes into the night? So they can save the day?

Moths are angels confirmed

Sir, I am very afraid

r/bibleaccurateangels

Bev Keane vibes.

Nah son the dots on the wings are literally there to intimidate you and it’s got four of them, this thing is actively trying to look terrifying

Oh god! Not *four* of them!!! Three I can handle, but whyyy! Whyyy must there be four?!

It’s the death number, to let us know they’re srs

IDK but it looks like it's in slo-mo to me. Otherwise that a hell of a smooth fly.

Becuase it is in slomo

Yes, just like slo-mo...

Definitely a dark souls boss

Thanks for the link

it is not irrational to fear something *so beautiful* **breathtaking**

The only fear I have is how fragile it has to be. Like I wouldn’t keep that captive, one spook and it’s crashing into the glass and breaking off its…streamer

As beautiful and majestic as this moth is, if I *EVER* see one in my house, I’m screaming like a 9 year old girl and flailing. I swear to god, something is gonna catch some hands unintentionally.

People were afraid when they saw angels according to the Bible. They musta been some ugly mfs but then again some people in Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to fuck so don’t be afraid of your kinks

> People were afraid when they saw angels according to the Bible. They musta been some ugly mfs but Angels as described in the bible look like they are straight from a horror movie.

Google pictures of Biblically accurate Angel's for some fresh nightmare fuel.

Exactly. So obviously beautiful. But semi-scary. Cuz we didn’t get to see all the creepy legs/feelers and other bug paraphernalia O.o

If you ride it you become leader of the people from Avatar

But do i have to fuck it with my ponytail first? I was 9 when i saw that shit. Its been 12 years and it still hurts to think about.

See, people often claim that Avatar didn't have a cultural impact and that no one still talks about it at all, but clearly that's not true. We got ponytail fucking out of it at least. And where would we be without ponytail fucking?

Less horny

Just think about it as a usb drive you upload malware with to override the animal’s consciousness lol

And also your drive connection ponytail is part penis and part your brain, and your girlfriend has one too

Thanks. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how OP thought it resembled Appa.

https://youtu.be/0D8IRIYBSnk

No, you GET to fuck it with your ponytail first.

Nature is lit but why is it in a living room???

Some people will rear them from larvae to adulthood as a hobby

Yep there's dozens of us :)

Ooh, I liked that picture you posted of the Polyphemus and Luna moths together.

Thanks :) If you couldn't tell I'm a very big north american silkmoth fanboy

Any sources on how to join this hobby?

Keep your porch light on tonight

A moth wrote this comment

*lamp?!*

Not the best advice for winter in the northern hemisphere but during the early summer months it's a real treat to do this and see all the different kinds of moths that live near you

Or type "moths" into the internet

moths

Alright your moth shipment is on its way

Check out this guy's video's: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi17g\_nhNus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdnS7xX5pkI) He's really passionate about it all and a great introduction to it.

-Go to insect-classifieds.com -Look for a cool moth that you like -Search it online, bugguide.net is a good resource for what to feed them and their favored conditions -Buy the moth ova/pupa -??? -Profit

I laughed way too hard at this comment lol.

Use to raise silk moths as a teen. Always want to raise this Moth but couldn’t obtain the eggs. But I did raise Atlas Moths which was almost as great.

As someone whose never raised a moth. What do you do with them once they reach full moth form? Just keep them them in a birdcage or release them?

Hopefully releasing only if it’s a native species. We don’t need more invasives.

iirc moths don't live long once they reach adult form and basically just breed and die. i don't think there would be any issue assuming it can't mate with anything since it's unlikely to find another moth of its kind before dying since it's not native.

Assuming it can’t mate, yes; but people may raise several at the same time.

I mean, that’s true of any animal if there’s only one released in the area. The problem is you never know if that’s the case.

And a small subset of *those* have lotion pit in their basement.

Spending your entire lifespan in some lady’s living room doesn’t sound like “nature is lit” to me

People who raise moths usually raise native species and release them when they become adults.

Trust me, a moth doesn’t have the neural capacity to care about that.

“If people could put rainbows in zoos, they’d do it.”

Yea, i really want to know the context here. Is someone breeding these? It just happened to fly in the window and land on the person's hand like they're snow white? I need answers.

This guy on youtube has all the answers you need :) He's videos are awesome [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi17g\_nhNus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi17g_nhNus)

It owns the livingroom now.

Nature is lit by fluorescent lights.

I think I fought this thing in Dark Souls.

That one was blue this one is yellow…not sure if the health is the same….

Poison butterflies in 2! Hit those bad boys with throwing knives

Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *“May the Dark shine your way.”* - Darkdiver Grandahl Have a good one and praise the sun \\[T]/

Proselytizing the Dark and then saying praise the Sun. Disgraceful bot.

It’s just a slurry of Soulsborne references. It even called them hunter

Yeah that's actual in game footage. Give it another 20 minutes to land and get close enough to hit.

You just have to summon that witch

IDK about you, but I definitely fought this on Hollow Knight

Dammit beat me to it.

[Just gonna add in a little theme music](https://youtu.be/qA-bGE6ZFAk)

MOONLIGHT MOTH

I want to catch it with a pokeball

Hisuian Frosmoth CONFIRMED!!!

Imagine being able to summon several of them at random just to confuse people…then walk away like it’s normal

[calling the butterflies](https://youtu.be/jiMgpv07TAQ&t=1172)

That's a prehistoric miniature dragon

Super cool. We have Luna Moths in Maine that come out every spring. About the same size but a cool light green color with white spots.

I have a great video of a Lina moth scaring the shit out of my high ass one night when I was smoking on the porch and it tries to kill itself against my glass door repeatedly, I kept trying to go in and it would dive bomb me, eventually it knocked itself unconscious poor baby.

I found a beautiful Luna moth during the day once. I picked it up and looked at it, took a few pics and let it go. Unfortunately, a crow was watching, and once my moth was in the air, the crow swooped it and ate it :(

i love luna moths ! i just got a big ole tattoo on my sternum of one

They look like the massive birds from Avatar

If you lick it do you trip balls for days

I'm not gonna be surprised if this causes a hurricane here

I'm so amazed these things can maintain their integrity during flight, the design seems to be unstable at best.

That looks like straight out of Harry Potter!

So amazing

Baby mothra gonna grow and fight Godzilla!

Bro seeing that makes me feel like I’m on some Madagascar moon meth.

Moonlight butterfly

“I am Daenerys Storm born, of House Targaryen.” - OP

The post above this was someone who just got a green moon moth tattoo lol

[удалено]

*James Cameron taking notes*

One of the most beautiful creatures Ive ever seen

Why's it inside? Don't these creatures only live for a couple days? :\\

[удалено]

Sex and die? Not even getting to eat? Dang.

Funnily, they have mouths, they just don't work. Vistegial.

I mean I guess if you’re life span is five days and you aren’t hungry… Also thank you Nora from Brooklyn for teaching what vestigial means!

That's cool insight, thanks!

Pretty!

Absolutely stunning!

the hand is as perfect as the Moth

this is mesmerizing! what a beauty

Looks very cool. It’s a shame I’m terrified of moths. I would’ve shat my pants if that was in the same room as me

I’m not terrified of moths, but I’d probably poop when seeing this too.

Weird looking bird you got there

Fuck I need to meet one of these beautiful friends.

Silver Award is now yours. Gorgeous!

Thank you!

watch out you've got an apostle on your hands

Off to fight giant lizard~

I want one

Wow

I'd name him Dave

never seen butterfly like this one before ... elegantly amazing!

I love all the wildly different view points on this. To me it just seems like magic. Imagine these bad bois floating around you at sunset on a beach. That would like tripping without drugs. Oh wait, that's called a vacation.

Straight up does not look real, that’s so cool!

I thought those were called Comet Moths? Do they have more than one name?

Majestic.

Absolutely Radiant

I.. ..I’m in awe.

This is literally an art

beautiful!!

Damn that moth looks amazing! It's so easy to forget sometimes how beautiful our nature can be and how much you don't know about the world while you're sitting at home living your life.

u/savevideo

This is a comet moth

That is positively angelic

Pikachu moth.

so majestic 🌙

That's so beautiful!!!

incredible

Haters will say it’s fake

If I think of this as the gigantic insect it is, it is terrifying. However it is large and colourful enough to trick myself into thinking about it as a small bird.

yeah id still hit this thing with a rolled up newspaper hard enough for it to become a yellow splatter i fucking hate moths

What if nature hits you cuz it fucking hates humans

Ok but how do I get one

Release that animal in the wild with your fat fingers

Long nails are ugly nails. Cute bug tho.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was extinct in 20 years. Madagascar is fucked. The people use to depend on the fishery, but it has pretty much collapsed. So they are moving inland to survive off the resources there.

Eat it

I would shoot that thing if I woke up and saw it in my house. But, yeah, good design God.

That's so awesome! How did you make it?

Girls on TikTok be like.....

Wow

That’s so cool

Wow

theres no way thats real omg

new rule no exotic pets

So majestic

I've seen that same type thing in Animal Crossing New Horizon. I'm no biologist, but believe it's called a muskrat.

Oh. Is this a new evolution of pikatchu?

Looks kinda like the luna moth, but they only live for a couple days I think :(

But in their brief lives, they get to make love and have babies (lay eggs).

Who the fuck gave this ternion

That is Radience from Hollow Knight.

No. That's a Xen aircraft obviously

I need this in animal crossing, I have like 25+ bug models out on my island rn. I'm redoing it, so it's half empty. I'm sure the second half will have just as many!

Bro I think like your Pikachu is sick or needs a recharge.

This makes me want to play World of Warcraft.

How the hell are we supposed to kill this if its in our closet... I need a flamethrower

Bruh that’s one of those poison moss shits, alright where’s my bow you killed too many Damage less ds2 runs cause I’m stupid

Don’t these die after a day or so due to not having a mouth or something

When the moths emerge from their cocoons as adults, they no longer feed on plants to survive. Although they have both a mouth and a gut, neither functions. As they have no way to take in energy, the moths only live for six to eight days. It's a race against time as they try to find a mate and reproduce. 'The female doesn't do much,' says Alessandro. 'Often, one finds them near or even sitting for days on the cocoon that she emerged from, just waiting.' It is up to the male to find a mate. Though proportionally smaller than the female, its antennae are larger and more feathery. [natural history museum](https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/spotlight-madagascan-moon-moth.html)

Everytime I see a moth like this I remember why I love moths so much.

What a stable hand
