Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The moth Xanthopan morgani holds the record for the longest proboscis of any insect, with a length of over 35 cm (14 in) when fully extended. Even more impressive, the existence of this moth’s existence was predicted over 40 years before the first specimen was discovered. After being sent an orchid with a nectary tube over a foot long, naturalists Charles Darwin and Alfered Russel Wallace speculated that only a moth with an equally long proboscis could pollinate it. However, proof of the moth’s existence was only discovered 20 years after Darwin died, and the species was appropriately named Darwin’s Hawk Moth.
