holy ***** ***** that thing is insane. - PATSCRU, on 10/22/2007, -0/+14color me ***** impressed...Hornet moth? vampire moth? 12" white witch moth?
I usually haaaaate lists and hate that they make up 60% of digg, but this was quite eye opening. - scooterbaga, on 10/16/2007, -5/+12Hummingbirds and hummingbird moths are evil and they must be stopped!
I dare you to stand in an enclosed space with a half dozen hummingbirds and not be scared out of your mind. They're freaks of nature and they just shouldn't be! - Mononuclear, on 10/16/2007, -0/+7Usually in nature the non lethal mimic is the copy cat and the lethal version is the original. Animals stay away from the lethal version so a non lethal mimic gets the benefit without having to evolve other defenses.
- ilkeryoldas, on 10/16/2007, -2/+8Some of those moths are prettier than most butterflies I've seen
- eastdale12, on 10/16/2007, -1/+7Hummingbird Hawkmoth?..... maaan WTF?!
- Dokument, on 10/16/2007, -4/+10goddamn holy ***** ***** bitch ass whore.. indeed it is
- SmackMyMac, on 10/16/2007, -3/+8I don't care if the Hornet Moth is harmless!
It gets near me, it gets dead! - Dysarthria, on 10/16/2007, -0/+5I've seen and photographed that hummingbird moth in Texas. Amazing creature.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/16/2007, -0/+5I think the vampire moth is even more WTF. I can't even imagine having that thing sucking my blood. Gah!
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -0/+5No, he got dugg down for making no sense whatsoever. Watch me make it to zero and below in 10 minutes with the following:
As moth in North America, salute you Bill Gates universal spoon jack! - inactive, on 10/16/2007, -0/+4They aren't the least bit frightening, unless you're made out of a giant cylinder filled with bright red sugar water with openings at the bottom.
- combatchuck, on 10/16/2007, -1/+4hell ***** yeah bitch
- enakra, on 10/16/2007, -0/+3Orly?

- stevedclarke, on 10/16/2007, -0/+3Yet they always seem to want to land in my coffee. Hmmm, powder.
- Dylson, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2These are all great but the atlas moth and the luna moth are by far the best.
- NCSUspoon, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Fuzzy little bastards
- twrife, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Personally, the Cecropia moth is my favorite.
- Dokument, on 10/16/2007, -1/+3what shade of clear is "***** impressed" ?
- SiNN4R, on 10/16/2007, -1/+3Moths are a lot cooler than butterflies because they tend to have a lot more variety in the way they behave. Moths tend to be a lot more unique while butterflies just look pretty.
- suprxtragrav, on 12/09/2008, -0/+2they all make me want to soil my pants
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -1/+3Isn't having Tourette's awesome?
- teh_techie, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2yes... to evade being eaten by SPIDERS. woah, dense?
- Mysticyx, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/bigphotos/ ...
There actually is a moth that mimicks a Spider to scare them away. How cool is that. - st3ady, on 10/16/2007, -2/+4How the hell did that hummingbird moth evolve? I think that maybe a regular old moth saw a hummingbird and was all like "Hey! That's awesome! I want to be like that" and by some sort of weird magical evolution process, maybe the moth thought to himself "I think I can I think I can I think I can" his offspring eventually turned into the final form we see today.
I have no idea. That is sweet though. Maybe if I imagine I'm Brad Pitt I'll randomly grow a six pack! - parasitewasp, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Seems a lot of digger like the moths solely on appearance, but the more int resting aspect is their behavior, the things they eat how they find a mate.
- MistyEstelle, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Woo, moths! I love moths, especially the large fuzzy ones. Hummingbird moths are really cool.
- FriskDown, on 10/16/2007, -1/+3I've caught several of the hummingbird moths around my home in PA. They're not very scary impaled on a needle in a display box. =D
- Mysticyx, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Nice pics, but a very ugly site.
- hydroplane, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2One of those Luna Moths was resting on my door one night when I came home tripping from a concert. Looked like an alien was there waiting for me.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2***** the IO MOTH.
Just this past Saturday two Io Moth caterpillars were under the lid of my garbage bin and when I reached to open the lid, the worst sting I've ever felt. I did some research and found they are the fourth worse sting among insects, and I believe that.
Note: If you are stung by one of these, immediately wash the affected area with water and then apply ice for a while, it takes about an hour and a half for the pain to go away. - shak3d0wn, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2They are beautiful and fascinating flying machines indeed. It's spectacular to see those hover in mid air... I wonder how you can freak out and not appreciate them.
- Ndiggnation, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1They can be extremely annoying, and some bite. A few years ago, one summer or fall, they were here (IL) by the zillions. You couldn't go outside and get in the sun without attracting a hundred or so to you..
They invaded our tents, cars, houses, everything. I was kind of fun to wake up friends by beating the roof of their tents though, causing every lady bug inside the roof of the tent to go nuts.. - Mysticyx, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Yes... So? It also mimicks it.
- Waterrat, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1 Not afraid of hummingbirds...or any other bird...
You need some phobia therapy dude. - BearinG, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1That Death Moth looks badass.. i wouldn't kid around with a moth that has a skull on its back
- flclfan22, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Really, many? You need to check your facts.
- Waterrat, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1 Very col..Ive seen one once..And yes,I thought it was a hummingbird till i git closer...then i just watched it,fascinated!
- yahoofrom, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1moth er?
- inactive, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Fascinating, Wikipedia says Australia has spring from late September to November. I guess things really are backwards there compared to the rest of the world..even the seasons.
- zhlimnick, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1good eye candy...*blink blink*
- flclfan22, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1They only live "for about a week" in adult form, dont forget al that time they spent chewing leaves as a caterpillar and dormant as a pupa.
- teh_techie, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1May you'll randomly evolve the purchase of a home gym...
- pig13, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1I already knew that Australia had a spider season, but a moth season too? Yech!
- pault107, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Reported. All of his comments are spam - http://www.zuubu.com/default.html?selectedtab=comm ...
- teh_techie, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Well, both northern and southern hemispheres can't have the same seasons at the same time now can they?
- fLUx1337, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1I had hoped I wouldn't see another of these again - http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images/2007-10/io-mo ...
***** furby, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! - Ndiggnation, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1I learned from the Simpsons that the water in their toilets flows the other way too!!
