My gf told me I couldn't tell her this moth was a real thing. This link came in handy, thank you!

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not the girlfriend, but I also didn't believe it was real, so thanks!

[–] maculata@aussie.zone 21 points 1 year ago

I refuse to believe that’s real.

Looks more like a Miro or Kandiski imo.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Kandinsky was the first artist to come to mind

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?

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you know a moth who's good at conversation?

[–] Dymonika@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if it survives because its bizarre appearance makes predators too confused to consider eating it, haha.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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."

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

[–] credo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This one’s profile says it’s available for flights of fancy.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mostly_Harmless_Variant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they weren't so rare I wonder how many people would catch, dry and cast in resin to make jewelry with them.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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