      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 Kandiski imo.

      Kandinsky was the first artist to come to mind

    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?

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

    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.

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

    • credo@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

    source
    • QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

    • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Ew.

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