#silkmoths cant jumpscare me so theyre fine.

got distracted from my math test earlier (it wasnt timed) and i got talking about moths. no photos because i will cry if i look at most of the moths.

for context, i have intense mottephobia (irrational fear of moths) to the point that seeing a moth the size of my thumbnail causes me to activate flight/freeze (and technically fight, but that is just "scream real loud to alert others to danger" and then i am GONE.)

worst part of mottephobia is thinking SOME moths look cool but others are HORRORS

if god is real, they made the baphomet moth while fucking LAUGHING THEIR ASS OFF at all the future mottephobes like me. why does it do that. why does it become cthulu when horny. NO LIKE ACTUALLY THATS WHAT IT DOES LOOK IT UP. its HARMLESS and i am afraid of it.

but the venezuelan poodle moth? the rosy maple moths? those are babies. they are ok (i still think they should stay far away from me still please and thanks)

but when googling venezuelan poodle moth the "other people searched for" were luna moths, rosy maples, giant leopard moths, and cecropia moths.

cecropia can die. false eye moths. hate those fuckers.

giant leopard moths aren't that bad but you have NO RIGHT to be 3 inches.

moths are 1 inch or less. moth 1 inch or less are subjected to fearful put down with tissue. moth 1 inch or more are subjected to me fucking screaming the feral caveman death rattle that i learned i have because of moths.

moth antennae are some of the coolest things but they are attached to the most terrifying creature i have ever seen.

googles ai told me baphomet moths CANT bite people so i looked it up and there are moths that CAN bite. theres vampire moths. they look so fucking lame. i was unironically hoping theyd be red and black. nah they're brown and thats SOOOO overdone. (i am the biggest moth critic). at least they have a unique gimmick but brown?? lamest moth color.

SORRY WAS LOOKING UP MOTHS IN MY AREA BC ONE OF THE MOTHS I SEE A LOT LOOKS LIKE A BITER AND THERES ROSY MAPLES WHERE I LIVE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A ROSY MAPLE. WHY. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME, ROSY MAPLE MOTHS. IM ACTUALLY UPSET NOW. I've lived in rosy maple territory my WHOLE life and I've never seen a single one. found this rosy maple moth plushie and oh my god i need it.
