wow those are freaky from the front lol

they are funny looking mouthless little things

gah. hate bug faces TwT

:3 Somehow, it's adorable~

oh yah too bad they have such a short lifespan

:'D Beautiful while they last, hmm?

yah about a week or so

Exactly, stupid idea of mother nature to create a beeing that lives only to lie eggs and isn't able to eat... :(

Woah. It looks like an ai-ai

intense face O A O

never looked at it that way

What region do they live in? I've never seen one before!

North America from east of the Great Plains in the United States to northern Mexico and from Manitoba eastward through central Quebec to Nova Scotia in Canada.

I would love to hold one of those in my hand. It's beautiful!

it's a special feeling... have to be real careful not to hit the wings too

I know it may sound silly of me to ask, but why?

basically moth's or butterfly wings are made of a very thin type of scales and are covered in "dust" and if said dust is removed the wings get damaged and then either they can't fly anymore or fly really badly... and it will also harm their camouflage colors and condemn them mostly to die

Wow, so thats why they say to never touch their wings. The one moth I really wanna see in person is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_moth

they are pretty amazing too :)

If you're ever down south in Georgia, make sure to find a way to get into Callaway Gardens near Pine Mountain. They have a Butterfly Center that houses most of the worlds lepidopterae species, and I remember seeing more Atlas moths than I care to remember. They literally have THOUSANDS of the buggers EVERYWHERE. /exaggeration

Here's a good picture of the outside with information----> http://www.callawaygardens.com/gard.....ly-center.aspx

It looks really nice!

I wish there were more luna's around here. All I have are stupid moths that get stuck in my lamp. I have a video of it...it's quite funny x3;

They don't live around my place either... only reason I had it was cause my uncle sent me a cocoon

Jesus in a Hammock, that's a HUGE ass moth! D:

yup

Why, it's so lovely . o.

Oh, oh, so beautiful <3 Moths are so elegant, especially luna moths. Such cute feelers too :>

amen to that

I still have yet to see one of these things in real life.

Thanks for sharing the photo though!
