Of all of the species of butterflies and moths, which one would you say is the most beautiful, /an/?I'm casting my vote for the Madagascar sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus).
It's not original, but it's true
>>5070561Think of any pretty butterfly and there’s probably a Papilionid that’s better than it
>>5070561>>5070562>>5070607>>5070612im using all of you to make a fortify restoration potion
>>5070561Probably one of these
>>5070615
>>5070561>I'm casting my vote for the Madagascar sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus).Agreed and nothing else even comes close.
>>5070561Papilio paris or any of the other peacock swallowtails
>>5070561Can't pick just one. There's too much variety. But G. weiskei is very nice. Only found in the mountains of New Guinea, nobody even knows what its host plant is.
>>5070615Is that a cecropia moth?
>>5070982It is. Lunas are also neat.
>>5071037I am partial to such filigrees
I like the bird poop being eaten by bugs one
>>5071271What is that?
>tfw no more butterflies or moths until April at the earliest
>>5070561lemonade moth
Something about the partition of shape that Sphingids exhibit is utterly attractive to me. This is my Ceratomia undulosa specimen that I love dearly.
>>5073698Google says this is a waved sphinx moth, is that true?
>>5071241>>5074572Imagine seeing these in person. They're both the size of a bird.
My mom once told me about a guy that she talked to who was an undertaker and had a house full of pet moths. He would just let them fly around in there. Someone should write him into a book or movie.
>>5070561I don't know shit about butterflies but have this one from last summer Completely forgot its name though, but biggest butterfly I've seen here
