Picasso Moth
(mander.xyz)
My gf told me I couldn't tell her this moth was a real thing. This link came in handy, thank you!
I'm not the girlfriend, but I also didn't believe it was real, so thanks!
I refuse to believe that’s real.
Looks more like a Miro or Kandiski imo.
Kandinsky was the first artist to come to mind
Bro looks like Regigigas
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?
I wonder if it survives because its bizarre appearance makes predators too confused to consider eating it, haha.
Predators keep debating the meaning, intentions and technique and before they know the month fly away.
"My five year old could make a better moth."
Time flies
I’m not usually into moths but that’s a good looking moth.
This one’s profile says it’s available for flights of fancy.
If my understanding of brightly-colored bugs is correct, then that mouth is ultra fucking poisonous to eat.
Then just don’t fucking eat it
If they weren't so rare I wonder how many people would catch, dry and cast in resin to make jewelry with them.
Ew.
To think that moth didn't have a name until Picasso came around
And if it eats my cashmere imma stomp ‘em’ 😤
