Beautiful black witch moth

The erebid moth Ascalapha odorata, commonly known as the black witch, is a large bat-shaped, dark-colored nocturnal moth, normally ranging from the southern United States to Brazil. Ascalapha odorata is also migratory into Canada and most states of United States. It is the largest noctuoid in the continental United States. In the folklore of many Central American cultures, it is associated with death or misfortune.

Female moths can attain a wingspan of 24 cm. The dorsal surfaces of their wings are mottled brown with hints of iridescent purple and pink, and, in females, crossed by a white bar. The diagnostic marking is a small spot on each forewing shaped like a number nine or a comma. This spot is often green with orange highlights. Males are somewhat smaller, reaching 12 cm in width, darker in color and lacking the white bar crossing the wings. The larva is a large caterpillar up to 7 cm in length with intricate patterns of black and greenish-brown spots and stripes.

The black witch lives from the southern United States, Mexico and Central America to Brazil, and has apparently been introduced to Hawaii.[citation needed]

The black witch flies north during late spring and summer. One was caught during an owl banding project at the Whitefish Point lighthouse on the shoreline of Lake Superior in July 2020.[citation needed]

The black witch is considered a harbinger of death in Mexican and Caribbean folklore. In many cultures, one of these moths flying into the house is considered bad luck: e.g., in Mexico, when there is sickness in a house and this moth enters, it is believed the sick person will die, though a variation on this theme (in the lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas) is that death only occurs if the moth flies in and visits all four corners of one's house (in Mesoamerica, from the pre-Hispanic era until the present time, moths have been associated with death and the number four). In some parts of Mexico, people joke that if one flies over someone's head, the person will lose his hair.

In Jamaica, under the name duppy bat, the black witch is seen as the embodiment of a lost soul or a soul not at rest. In Jamaican English, the word duppy is associated with malevolent spirits returning to inflict harm upon the living and bat refers to anything other than a bird that flies. The word "duppy" (also: "duppie") is also used in other West Indian countries, generally meaning "ghost".

In Brazil it is called "mariposa-bruxa", "mariposa-negra", "bruxa-negra", and "bruxa", and it is also believed that when a moth of this type enters the house it can bring some "bad omen", signaling the death of a resident. In the Ecuadorian highlands they are called Tandacuchi and in Peru Taparacuy or Taparaco. These countries share the belief that if this moth, a messenger of death, appears in your home, someone will die very soon.

In Hawaii, black witch mythology, though associated with death, has a happier note in that if a loved one has just died, the moth is an embodiment of the person's soul returning to say goodbye. In the Bahamas, where they are locally known as money moths or money bats, the legend is that if they land on you, you will come into money, and similarly, in South Texas, if a black witch lands above your door and stays there for a while, you will supposedly win the lottery.

In Paraguay and Argentina, this insect is mostly known as "ura", and there is a popular belief that this moth urinates and leaves worms on the skin of people and animals. However, the insect that lays eggs in the skin and whose larvae become embedded in the flesh is the colmoyote or screwworm (Dermatobia hominis).

In Spanish, the black witch is known as "mariposa de la muerte". Other names for the moth include the papillion-devil, la sorcière noire, the mourning moth or the sorrow moth.[citation needed]

Black witch moth pupae were placed in the mouths of victims of serial killer 'Buffalo Bill' in the novel The Silence of the Lambs. In the movie adaptation, they were replaced by death's-head hawkmoth pupae.

i dont know if youve said it before, but-

what is your favorite species of moth? :]

so to be fully honest I'm not sure. BUT I did recently answer this question to someone else.

I prefer moths that look like moths, if that makes sense. Something like this

This moth is Moth Shaped (eastern tent caterpillar moth).

On the other hand, something like this

Is not moth shaped and i dislike it (grape plumed moth)

That is incredibly unclear but i hope it helps a bit.

However i do have a moth i think is really neat.

Ascalapha odorata, or the Black Witch moth.

Is native to the southern us, mexico, brazil, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.

The reason this moth is currently my favorite is because of the folklore behind it. Most of my info is from wikipedia sadly 😞

The black witch moth is seen as a harbinger of death or misfortune. It either is the embodiment of a dead person's soul or the omen that kills them. My favorite thing is that in Jamaica it's called a Duppy Bat and that name is just super cool.

That's it, ascalapha odorata is my favorite moth :)

While i have you here let me ramble about something i am headcanoning

This is a moth. Yes, I'm being serious. Look at how the wings fold back, look at how the body by the cockpit (head) is kinda boxy looking just like a moth's "scarf".

The F-14 Tomcat is a moth because it is moth shaped!

Rainford Hugh "Lee" Perry was born on March 20, 1936, in the rural sugar-cane fields of Kendal, Jamaica. The third of four children, Perry grew up watching his mother perform the Ettu dance - a ceremony held to commune with the spirits of the afterlife in which the devotees enter trancelike states. At 20, according to his biography, People Funny Boy, by David Katz, Perry left his village, eventually finding his way to the teeming capital of Kingston, where he got a job running errands at Studio One, the Motown of Jamaica. Perry worked his way through the organization by writing catchy songs like "Chicken Scratch," the popular dance anthem that gave him his nickname. In 1966, Perry left Studio One and subsequently produced the song "The Upsetter," marking the birth of his incendiary alter ego. In 1969, walking by a church, Perry was mesmerized by the soulful sound of the congregation's music. Inspired, he recorded "People Funny Boy" - a track widely credited as one of the first reggae songs. Decades before "sampling" became the norm, the tune featured a baby crying, hinting at Perry's future sonic surrealisms. "Reggae is a useful exercise I created to get the people skipping," Perry says.

That same year, a young and frustrated Bob Marley returned to Jamaica from the United States, where he had been working in a Delaware auto factory. After regrouping with bandmates Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, Marley came to Perry seeking musical and spiritual guidance. In Marley, Perry found the consummate vocal counterpart of the Upsetter sound. Under Perry's mentorship, who Ziggy Marley says was instrumental in his father's career, Marley recorded some of his early songs. However, when Perry allegedly sold the Wailers' music to a British label, the Wailers acrimoniously split from him and recorded "Trench Town Rock" as an insult to Perry.

The only surviving member of Marley's original band, Bunny Wailer, still holds a grudge. "Lee Perry did nothing for the Wailers," Wailer says. "He just sat there in the studio while we played our music, and then he screwed us. We never saw a dime from those albums we did with him. Records that other people have made millions from. Lee Perry's ignorance cost us a lot of money, and I never forgave him."

For his part, Perry says, "I'd rather not talk on Bunny Wailer - he's a miserable person."

Whatever their differences, for the rest of his life Marley would return to Perry in search of inspiration, advice and to occasionally collaborate on songs like "Jah Live." "The only person Bob worked with whom he really respected was Lee Perry," says Chris Blackwell, who would assume production responsibilities for the Wailers from Perry. Blackwell had the band re-record many of the original Perry tracks, removing some of the grit, weirdness and mysticism from songs like "Duppy Conquerer" and "Small Axe" for release in the U.S., taking Marley and reggae music into the mainstream.

In 1973, Perry built his legendary Black Ark Studio, a small backyard bunker behind his home in Kingston, and embarked on a five-year period of around-the-clock production increasingly fueled by marijuana and alcohol. Black Ark would become the birthplace of countless reggae and dub classics.

In 1976, as political turmoil erupted in Jamaica, Perry produced the classics War Ina Babylon with Max Romeo and Police and Thieves with Junior Murvin. The albums catapulted him into national acclaim. After the Clash covered "Police and Thieves," Perry worked as their producer in London, and was swept up by the punk scene. Inspired by the new sound and energy, Perry co-wrote "Punky Reggae Party" for Bob Marley. "If I want to spit here, I spit here," Perry has said. "If I want to piss there, I piss there. I am punk."

In 1978, Perry, who was always wildly eccentric, suffered a dramatic mental breakdown after his wife left him for a Rastafarian studio musician. The grounds of his property were cluttered with Rasta sycophants, and he was being extorted by the local gangs. Perry became convinced that Rastafarians were to blame. He rode through Kingston with a rotting, maggot-infested slab of pork as a hood ornament. He began to paint obsessively, covering the property with incoherent graffiti. In 1983, in the depth of his madness, convinced the studio was possessed by evil spirits, Perry set the Black Ark studio ablaze. He entered into a deep depression, and as a result blew $25000 on an antique set of silverware.

He is now content though. His one complaint in life is that he lacks rivalry. "You don't get to where you need to get without competition," he says. He has not driven a car in 30 years, but sometimes he gets restless, and will have someone drive him down to a 14th century monastery where, in hopes of unsettling the priests, he walks into the chapel with a giant snowball on his head.

Perry's teenage son and daughter, Gabriel and Shiva, saunter into the room. Perry has at least eight children with four women. He signals to his daughter: "She's 20, and she's a virgin. She knows what men want. She has to stay with us, forever!" Shiva shakes her head, unfazed by her father's humor. Perry also laments that he would be dead without his Swiss wife. He no longer smokes or drinks, but his wife still needs weed.

ROLLING CALF (El becerro rodante)

No sabrìa muy bien como llamar esta criatura en español, asì que usemos el nombre original, Rolling Calf (Creo que la traducción al español serìa algo parecido a "El becerro rodante"). El rolling Calf es una criatura sobrenatural jamaiquina, considerada un tipo de Duppy. Si no sabes que es un Duppy, historia larga corta: un Duppy es como le llaman a los fantasmas en Jamaica pero difiere del concepto de fantasma al que estamos acostumbrados porque para los jamaiquinos, los seres humanos tienen dos almas: despuès de la muerte una se va al cielo a ser juzgada, y la otra se queda con el muerto durante tres dìas. Pasado este tiempo, si no se toman medidas de precauciòn, pues el alma se escapa y podrìa andar por ahì como un Duppy o un Rolling Calf.

Y no quieres ninguna de las dos opciones.

¿QUE ES UN ROLLING CALF? Un rolling Calf es una criatura sobrenatural del folklore jamaiquino, que aparece de noche para matar a los viajeros o realmente el que sea que tenga la mala suerte de caminar de noche por los lugares en donde suele merodear. Tienen forma de becerro, con tres piernas de animal y una de humano, sus ojos son rojos, algunos dicen que hasta de fuego, y su distintivo es una cadena que tiene amarrada alrededor del cuello la cual arrastra para avisarle a sus victimas que va por ellas. Se dice tambièn que toma formas de otros animales como perros, cerdos, caballos o cabras. Caza de noche por las villas y puede cambiar de forma, como si en su forma original ya no fuera suficientemente terrorifico.

Como otros Duppy, pueden ser controlados por Obeahs (brujos) para torturar o matar.

¿COMO DEFENDERSE DE UN ROLLING CALF? Al igual que los Duppy genèricos, los Rolling Calf no pueden resistir la tentación de contrar cosas que vienen en varias cantidades. Si te encuentras con uno y le arrojas guisantes, arroz, arena o cualquiera otra cosa que sea en varias cantidades, inevitablemente este ser sucumbirà a sus ganas de saber cuantas hay y podràs salvar tu vida. Sin embargo, a diferencia de los demàs duppys, los rolling calf le tienen mucho miedo a la luz de luna, asi que si caminas bajo la luna, estaràs a salvo siempre y cuando no te desvies por la sombra. Otra manera de salvarte de estos seres es haciendo tres curces o clavando un cuchillo en un camino en forma de cruz. Si esto sucede, se dice que la bestia correrà en circulos.

Se dice que para que un Duppy se convierta en un Rolling Calf, la persona que muriò tenia que ser una persona muy malvada y deshonesta o un carnicero. Asi que ahi te dejo una razòn poderosa para ser una buena persona.
