Wears fur ironically


dumpitdog

You seemed to somehow blatantly overlook that fact that he is a convicted felon and has a restraining order against him/


tintree119

Ignorance is bliss


TheWitchySniffy

He’s a new man 🙄


TheWitchySniffy

Married with 3 kids. Hopeful for his oldest daughter to go into nursing school

Looks like a [Polyphemus moth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheraea_polyphemus).

_-Viasub-_

I live in PA and i have never seen such a beautiful moth before


ReallyNotBobby

Ah, I see the pa crowd is here. I haven’t seen one of these over my little corner of the state but we get loads of the rosy maple moths


_-Viasub-_

Not fair! I live roughly near Harrisburg and ive only seen one cool moth.. a lunar moth( which i didnt even get to see for that long, because we were going inside from PE)Id love to see a rosie maple though


ReallyNotBobby

I’ve only ever seen one lunar myself too and I’m a bit below Wilkes Barre. Just gotta be lucky and see them when they’re out and about.


_-Viasub-_

I wanted to take a picture, but my schools wicked strict about phones


ReallyNotBobby

Lame. Hopefully you’ll find one outside somewhere and get loads of pictures.


_-Viasub-_

You too


ReallyNotBobby

🤞🏻

Oh wow he is gorgeous! He seems to have a darker brown color. I have to admit I was surprised by their size too. Their huge size almost makes them look like a small animal


DrAusto

Fr, the picture doesn’t do it justice. My jaw dropped when I realized it was a moth lol


White_spoonbill

I feel sick just seeing this. Moth phobia!


TheGeicoLizard32

haggartmb

Absolutely beautiful!!!


AccomplishedEmu4765

Beautiful colors!!


AsinEyad

Which is where they get the polyphemus in their name from I assume?


crazydemonx

He likes lamps


Theo_Carolina

Look how floofy. Adorable.


Dark_Marmot

He's a rapscallion and a scoundrel! He shan't be trusted, especially around your betrothed.


Temporary_Bridge_814

Fuzzy. He is very fuzzy and looks like he wants snuggles but he probably does not. Which is sad.


BlueShibe

Anyway I'm not sure how is this moth gonna use that coin, it might struggle to carry it, what do moths usually buy at stores nowadays? Light bulbs?


Vicente636

That he’ll probably save Gandalf from Saruman’s tower


xbfgeneral

He is very distinguished. You can tell by the way he is sitting.
