Hope it's ok to ask for a moth wing stim thing but it's the emerald moth. Maybe have them shake their arm up and down too in one /nf
[⚠️CAPS=TQ⚠️]
HERE YOU GO! I HOPE THIS IS OKAY <:]

The Five Moths
The assistant curator at the Academy of Natural Sciences approached me again this year, this time to illustrate five moths for his ongoing presentation on species gathered at the Eastern State Penitentiary (Last year, it was five butterflies, which you can see here!)
These are not yet up as prints or print-on-demand items, but will be when I next get a chance to update my shops!

@theonlythingimfuckingisstupid submitted: Hello! Got a few bugs for you today. All locations northwest Kansas. First is a wolf spider burrow
I’ve seen The Beast who lives in it and they’re huge. Bigger than either of my wolves and I think they’ve been alive since before the beginning of time. Hoping to get a picture of them soon. After MONTHS of watching the burrow I saw their legs and eyes so there’s progress
Next is an orbweaver living outside my door. She’s been there for almost three weeks and is very big her name is bumbelina
And finally is a moth. There are lots of them around my house but this one stayed still enough for me to get a picture of them
Ohhh I’d love to see the large dude who lives in there! Definitely update if you get a pic. Bumbelina is large and in charge and I love her. Poor lady is missing some legs! Luckily she’ll be just find with only six. The emerald geometer is lovely, too! If you see any more please tell them I love them :)

Look how magical this small emerald moth is, look how blue-green and fluffy. I'll never for the life of me understand why more people don't love moths. They're just as fluffy as kittens.
If you love moths and you're lucky enough to have a garden, one of the best things you can do is leave a little space for weeds/long grass for the wild plants they eat. Just don't be too tidy. If anyone complains, tell them you're looking after magical flying kittens that pollinate at night. ✨🦋🐾✨
Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board 🙏🦋
