@zutalorz This is amazing, a moth that has none of the features that trigger my moth phobia.

Can't decide. Spooky or cute.

@zutalorz I saw this and immediately wondered what @eclectech had found to doodle with now :)

@evilstevie @zutalorz I like to think that I am making creatures then *somewhere* they are popping into existence 😆

@zutalorz I use the Venezuelan Poodle Moth to teach information literacy. I present the situation (picture is real, we haven't confirmed it) and ask what they would accept as evidence the VPM is real. Generates good discussions.

@zutalorz likely to be the domestic silk moth, actually (Bombyx mori)... good image about halfway through the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombyx_mori
