On the topic of unusual moths, I saw a hummingbird moth the other day. Spent about an hour staring at it trying to figure out what it was. Pretty cool looking creatures.







^^^That's the type i saw, although it seems that there are many varieties.

You and turel2 are starting to sound like WarOne.

Cool spot Rubik
beautiful markings.

Yeah, at first we thought it was just a tiny hummingbird, but upon closer inspection we realized it was some kind of insect or bug.

Ew thats the type of butterfly / moth im scared of.

It looks like hybrid of: Anaconda head , bee , lobster tail , humming bird , and butterfly wings.

Scary @_@

I dunno Luna
Flying furry lobster with nice colours seems good to me

Heheh it does kind of look like a tiny lobster bird thingy. They're pretty neat though, and as far as I know they're harmless.

Be careful!
They could have someone's eye out with that proboscis!

And if you can somehow catch these, stuff them, and model them, these would make might fine Wave Serpents and Fire Prisms.

Kill these awesome little creatures? Are you out of your mind?

That's probably the second cutest thing I've ever heard.

To be fair, I voted in the last election cycle the guy who combined ambulances with the fire department, thus creating the first ever emergency service where the ambulances are set on fire and go around setting other people on fire:

I would agree with killing them. If evolution couldn't do it, I sure can try.

Evolution seems to indicate that the insects are highly successful.

good luck with your destroy the eco-systems plan.
You will only end up causing more damage to the more "higly developed" species further up the food chain.

Would be nice for once to have a thread about animals on a forum with no, I need to eat, maim, pull the wings off, destroy responses.

Hey, I advocate turning them into pristine, eternal pieces of Warhammer models in order to fully appreciate and value their elegance.

In no way do I condone their uses for sustenance, torture, or annihilation for sadistic purposes.

Sooooooo, you basically are saying that you would kill them just for kicks?
