The Madagascan Sunset Moth: these moths are often mistaken for butterflies, thanks to their colorful, iridescent appearance
The scientific name of this species is Chrysiridia rhipheus, but it's commonly known as the Madagascan sunset moth. These gorgeous day-flying moths can be found only in Madagascar.
Above: a dorsal view of the same species
The Madagascan sunset moth has a strikingly colorful appearance, especially when its underwings are exposed, as a rainbow-like effect is produced by the iridescent scales that cover the underwings (and appear in smaller sections on the dorsal side of the wing).
Above: some of the iridescent scales on the underwings of Chrysiridia ripheus, as seen through a scanning electron microscope
The markings on the dorsal side are primarily black, with some patches of iridescent green, blue, and red. A "fringe" of white scales can also be seen along the edge of each wing; these are especially prominent on the hindwings.
Above: the dorsal patterns are visible only when the wings are left open
Like most day-flying moths, the adults of this species will often feed on nectar. Their caterpillars are known to consume Omphalea plants, which are toxic; those toxins are sequestered by the caterpillar and then retained through the pupal and adult stages of development, which means that the adult moth is toxic. Their colorful appearance is likely aposomatic, deterring predators by signaling that the moth itself is toxic.

Look at these amazingly detailed moths by Clemens Söllner, made with inlays of different kinds of wood! Aaaaahhhh! I just love the way the woodgrain textures flow, and it's clear how much love and care went into depicting these beautiful creatures so intricately!
Top moth is Ochropleura plecta, middle is Actinotia polyodon, and bottom is Ceramica pisi.

I keep coming back to the fact that Eddie and Chris were playing boggle - both in Bucks loft and in the Diaz house in ep 1. Because boggle is about finding the words in a mass of letters - the answers are in plain sight- literally staring you straight in the face.
Eddie is the one who wins the game - because he is the one who needs to find the answers, not Chris - and it suggests he will in fact figure out what’s been in plain sight all along.
But I love the idea that Chris does have some of the same answers as Eddie. Not all of the same answers and he’ll perhaps have found some different words to Eddie, because they both ultimately want/need different things from their respective relationships with Buck, but that there is cross over in those wants and needs.
#I also think it’s very interesting (and telling) that all of the other games we’ve seen Buck and Eddie involved in have been math related#(or numbers related at least)#but this one was word related#so there is something in the fact that they’ve spent the season wrangling with math when the answers lie in a word game#and that plays into the idea that they need to use words - they need to talk (which we have seen them doing in bits and pieces throughout#the season but not really a full open conversation#idk where I’m going with any of this reallly I’m just fascinated by the use of boggle#but the mind boggles is a turn of phrase about being surprised or amazed or hesitating because of fear or doubt#such a perfect description of Buck and Eddie this season#and the fact this is all tied into the couch comversation/metaphor makes me foam at the moth#thinky thoughts#911 spoilers#911 on fox#911 fox#911onfox#911#eddie diaz#evan buckley#buddie

The Princely Tiger Moth: these strikingly colorful moths can be found in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras
The princely tiger moth (Chrysocale principalis) has a unique, almost rainbow-like appearance, with iridescent/metallic scales that produce a broad range of colors across the wings, thorax, and abdomen. These colors can include shades of pink, gold, green, blue, and purple.
This species is particularly colorful, but aposomatic coloration in general is a trait that occurs in many different species of tiger moth; the moths often store toxic and/or unpalatable compounds within their own bodies as a way to discourage predators from eating them, and their brightly-colored markings then warn the predators to stay away.
Moths are often viewed as the boring, more plainly-colored version of butterflies, but they are much more diverse, more interesting, and more colorful than people generally realize -- as the princely tiger moth (and many other species) clearly demonstrates.
Chrysocale regalis: this species belongs to the same genus, and has a similarly colorful appearance
Chrysocale ignita: also known as the ignita wasp moth
