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.
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 6 months ago
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 6 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.
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 6 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.

Ew.

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

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!
