Damn they're big
naw. that's just a reallllly tiny finger.
They're huge. I got a Luna moth tangled in my hair while pitching a night softball game as a teenager. Had to call a time out to get it untangled, lol.
I think there are more types of moths, but these are cool nontheless
This one was in South Africa:
This one was in Colombia:
Somehow when I see them in pictures, I feel fine.
Somehow when I see them in person, I nope out of the room, find the biggest glass cup I can find, turn on all the lights to confuse them into settling on a wall somewhere, and then I sneak up on them without casting a shadow.
You'll live, motherfucker, but not in my house.
Polyphemus moth has too many eyes
Or maybe you have too few.
does that say Io or is it actually 10 moths forming one mega moth? Please I need a win today
Might be a binary (1, 0) moth 🤷
Where I live the first one is quite common, we call it "bufaforats", it means hole blower.
