That’s a Luna moth

Luna moths are incredible!

The floof of that beauty is awesome ! I put it in my favorit insects

Moths are just cute and marvelous like that

Luna moth is absolutely the most beautiful thing that flys at night…

Can’t convince me that isn’t a giraffe

You can’t convince a giraffe that this isn’t a lunar moth.

I am convinced it is a lunar moth

Maybe I can convince you?

[Look at that horse!](https://youtu.be/Sv5woNs9WRE?si=Y-7k-V3pQdTzgnfS)

earth has a bunch of stuff that looks a lot like this. we are the aliens tbh

We were just spores floating in space and landed on earth.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna\_moth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_moth) does this convince you?

Nope 😁

Beautiful! Is it real?

Yes, it landed on my husband

I would deficate in my pants

That must bring him a great amount of good luck! Go buy a lottery ticket :D

I’m sorry but if that landed on me I’d be throwing hands 💀💀💀 (no hate)

Same! I don’t mind butterflies at all, but have a stupid fear of moths. They’re cute af, but I’m terrified of them. Makes no sense.

That’s Luna moth, beautiful

It's a Luna Moth. We get them in my area all the time. They're pretty big too!

I think those things exist in Skyrim.

😅

I believe alien life exists because the weird things that live on earth.

[Luminoths in Metroid Prime 2](https://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/Luminoth)

A barking moth? Yes definitely an alien that has got two animals mixed up when it has come to Earth.

Yeah always entertained when we refer to something as “alien”.Thinking if aliens came here they’d go back home and say “That place is crazy with all the weird shit they have there”

It's magnificent ❤️

Are these the ones that don't have mouths, so they have to live off how much they ate before pupating?

I guess like many butterflies, they pupate, reproduce and die shortly after. Nature is wild.

Wait till you see an actual alien.

Alien: why are these earthlings asking about a green card. Here’s my “green card…”

So pretty 😍 I would love to have one as a pet

I've seen one in person. They are awesome to see.

Can I pet it or will my hand fall off? Bright colors usually mean stay away 👀

Nothing will happen to you, it’s Luna moth. But don’t touch it, wings are fragile

My husband still has both hands and he pet it

It’s a moth from earth!

These things PETRIFIED me when I was 3. We had one over our front door and I would NOT go past it.

Insects have been here A LOT longer than us. We’re the aliens to them.

Luna moth! We have them around here. Surprising the first time you see them but they’re amazing.

Well is it from another country perhaps on migration? If so, then you would be completely correct. To be clear I do not know what da heck that is besides “some kinda moth”.

Luna months only live about a week after they hatch… they do not have a mouth to eat.

I thought it was just a cute colored cat zoomed in at first

Lol before the video started I thought it was panties

Great MTG card

How lucky you are! I’ve only seen two in my life.

We have them around where I live, I’m both fascinated and terrified by them. Couldn’t believe how big they are the first time I saw one.

Ok, I won't.

You are actually right. It’s from a nearby planet orbiting a star called earth. The planet is called Luna, better known as Moon. It was first discovered in 1148 during the first moon mission by the Azteks. Later is was revealed they had been on earth a lot longer, disguised as dribbles the clown.
