Why don't they get any respect?
Because they bumble around in your face, live in your clothes and leave dusty shit when you kill them.
>>311224use to love to catch these guys back home
>>311234holy shit. I see the hummingbird clearwing moths around my house alot. i never knew what they were. I just thought it was some butterfly lobster bee hybrid.that's mad cool that I know what it is now. thanks anon.
I want one.
>>311230Where are you from, if I may ask?Also>>311270I recently saw some of those feathered wings around my house, believe me, they aren't that interesting and only the size of a bigger mosquito.
>>311208One of those flew into my house (North carolina) he flew around for a few minutes hitting into walls I left the door opened and the dumb bastard flew 1 fucking inch I kid you not to high, hit his head on the top of the door and flew into my hallway and behind a desk, I tried to get him out but Couldn't find him. Next day I find him crawling on my floor, so I put him outside on some of my house plants.He died amongst my plants =(The wierd thing is that they shouldn't be anywere near where I live.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphnis_nerii
Fuck, moths are the cutest motherfuckers in the world. I love those guys, and even use them in all my handles.Also, they have the mighties godamn names ever. Behold the Emperor Moth, mighties of them all!

Moths > Butterflies
>>311234holy shit look at the size of that white witch mothI've seen atlas atticus in person, so it gives me a good idea of the size of the white witch moththat's got to be almost 2 feet acrosswhat the hell?
Here's one I found a week ago.
People probably don't like them because as soon as you disturb them they fly around batshit insane.I don't mind ém really, just not on my TV.
>>312864>atlas atticuswat
I really hope they'll hatch next year.
They don't get respect from me because the bastards feel the need to invade my bedroom and bathroom in large masses.. they are not little moths, but MOTHRAS! ... My boyfriend and I put the moth carcasses on each others keyboards... ;lol;Take THAT Mothra!!!
You should take a long sleeve shirt with your arms only halfway around and flail around like themit is a great way to realize how their brain works!!
Moths are absolutely spectacular, under-appreciated insects. One of the many local moths in Oregon.
