When I was a kid we found a luna moth caterpillar. They are truly insane looking. We tried to watch it metamorphose, but it died.

It winked at me. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Too cool Zippy, we dont have pretty Moths like that here.

I never know which eye to look at when I'm talking to it.

You could lose the day job, Beestie, and go into standup any time you like. But just don't stop posting your material.

I think it's laughing at me.

No, dear. It's laughing with you.

cool luna moth factoid:
They have no mouth parts, they don't eat. They live for about a month during which time they try to mate before they run out of steam.

Wow, footfootfoot, I have to apologize for my uncharitable thoughts of B***S*** when I saw your post, and I do, but you are right! Amazing (not that you're right, but that the moth has no mouth parts and does not eat. Dayum.) For those who remain skeptical, here is a picture of the head of a Luna Moth taken with a microscope. **Double take alert** This image may be NSFW for those with active imaginations. You have been warned.

Apologies accepted, just don't let it happen again.

That luna moth has a dent on top of its old smoky there.

Both eyes are dented..... wonder what he'll end up mating with?
