Behold this ferociously adorable cup moth, Altha nivea. *tiny rawr*

May the delightful fact that this moth exists carry us safely through another Monday. May the floof be with us.

Found this little fella (around 2 cm long) on my fence post. I think the head is on the right hand side as this part was moving around.

I did some research and am pretty certain this is the larvae of a Mottled Cup Moth. I thought it was pretty boldly sitting out in the open until I read that it's coloured hairs STING!

The adult is brown and non distinctive, in stark contrast to its larvae.

@onenicebugperday you might like this.

@stlaika submitted: Found this large green gentleman inching around the dog bowl! Any idea what he could be? [Johannesburg, south africa]

Oooooooooo little friend. Looks like a slug caterpillar in the family Limacodidae, I think specifically a vivid slug, Latoia vivida. Although I assume it's already gone, don't touch it and don't let your dog touch it! Their little spines sting. Adults look like this:

Was rereading the Naga!AU and pregnant Zookeeper MC, so what are the Zoo Moths reactions to pregnant MC?

Sans: Mc starts visiting Sans more and more as her pregnancy goes on. She doesn’t realise its because her body is craving his relaxing pheromones to relieve her of the constant aches and stress. When she sits with him, the pain in her back and feet slowly disappears, the nausea that accompanies her everywhere finally ebbs away, she feels like she can lean back and relax; she really shouldn’t... but when she’s having trouble sleeping through the night, a long nap in Sans’ enclosure is often too good to resist. Especially considering how soft he is.

... As for Sans... he’s euphoric. This is exactly what he’s been waiting for, he knows he’s succeeded. This is why he’s been so calculating, this is exactly why he’s spent months putting on fake gentle smiles and easy expressions, masking his possessiveness and instinctive aggression behind purring and preening. This is his patience and carefulness paying off. In (arguably) her most vulnerable state, she’s not only actively seeking him out, she’s then letting down her guard entirely. The other two can snarl and posture sulk all they like... at the end of the day, she’s coming to him for safety. For affection, for care. Because he’s her TRUE mate.

While she’s sleeping, he likes to put his hands on her stomach. He always wants to protect that part of her... and it’s nice to feel their the baby’s Soul.

Red: Initially, Red shows no difference in behaviour. When he first realises she’s pregnant, he just reacts by being very gentle and cute with her, pinching her cheeks and purring with a dazzlingly wide grin; Mc’s relieved, she was cautious, afraid the pregnancy might trigger his crazy state and make him unsafe to be around. But he seems calm, he seems like his normal teasing self, curious about her belly but with a noticeable cautiousness that definitely eases her fears.

Then she steps out of the enclosure, and a fellow employee gets a bit too close to her for Red’s liking. He goes nuts, charging the enclosure walls with the red of his wings glowing bright enough to be visible in daylight, steaming from the mouth and snarling so loud people in the next room over can feel it in their chests. The anger is worse than anything anyone’s ever seen, even in his most intense insane states; sometimes he doesn’t look like Red anymore.

The message is loud and clear. Red doesn’t like seeing anyone get close to her. He’s puppy-gentle with Mc, but he’ll attack anyone who so much as breathes too close to her.

Skull: The moment he realised she was pregnant was key. He was happy to see her and he put his face in her hair like he always does, but he seemed to pick up on a scent that confused him. He moved down and smelled her cheek, accidentally causing her to giggle... then he crouched all the way down, and carefully sniffed around her stomach.

... And just like that, his entire demeanour flipped. Shy, scared, clingy Skull disappeared. Whatever took his place has a steely stare, a dark expression, an eerie smile that says nothing and a touch that doesn’t give you a choice. Mc is understandably very nervous about his sudden personality switch- as soon as she can, she slips out of his enclosure and refuses to go back in.

He’s changed. When she’s nearby, he gets incredibly aggressive and territorial with other staff, even the ones he tolerated before. He’s massively agitated by even her usual routine disappearances. He starts concealing his food, glowing his wings and staring at her nonstop... but the thing that worries her the most is the fact that he’s stopped hiding. Now, rather than going back to his den, he paces back and forth in his enclosure on all six limbs, growling incessantly. If she’s outside his cage he’ll be right up against the glass watching her, and if she’s not there he’ll pace the length of it like a restless tiger.

Mc’s scared. This isn’t the gentle moth she grew to trust, this is a frightening creature whose eye tells her to come here but whose very presence causes her instincts to scream. Until he starts acting normal again, she’s not risking it.

#llamagines #moth sanses au #zoo moth sanses au #red and skull out here scaring her and losing cuddle privileges #meanwhile sans is like #[holds mc in one arm + cups of tea for both of them] tragic. alexa play ''lofi beats to kiss your wife to''

Today's motivational/emergency moth is the monkey slug moth, Phobetron hipparchia. It's a species of cup moth (Limacodidae) named after it's fantastic looking caterpillar, which you can see below. (I think cup moths as a group are named after the shape of their cocoons, it's not that they can't get by without tea or anything.)

Anyway... May this moth bring you joy today, may we one day achieve it's level of fluffy sass.

All the images are from the late Andreas Kay, whose work lives on via the extraordinary archive of pictures he gave us of Ecuador's wildlife. Find more of his pictures of this moth here.

flashback to -checks wrist- last night when I had to kill a moth that got in

#ok the scene depicted is a lil wrong #the contraption was used to get it down from a spot we couldnt reach #i also neglected to add my brother who was throwing a nerf dart at it cause using the gun would be too loud #and the second moth who vanished midway through the fight and we havent seen since #i love bugs but the second they start moving i an prepared to kill #we were gonna catch it in a cup and put it outside but it fucking would not sit somewhere we could do that #anyways yea this is the guy youre followi h for murder drones #speaking of which #3 Days.#I'll See You Again Soon.#art #not murder drones

Not my fault theyre the best ones #i also overuse that one moth tattoo from werewolves which is funny because i'm afraid of them irl. it just slays #unrelated i think my next townie dump will be occults. i don't even use occults in the game really. so that's why i'm doing to do it #NO ONE CARES im just posting. tweeting if you will. yelling into a cup and putting the lid over it #also why did i use the word sneakers in this post.............im blaming HA SUNGWOON
