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!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

I refuse to believe that’s real.

Looks more like a Miro or Kandiski imo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Kandinsky was the first artist to come to mind

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’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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 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 2 points 5 months ago

Ew.

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