I just HAD to know what that stereoscopic cold-blooded extinct goat species looked like while alive and you’ll be really pleased to know I’ve never been more uncomfortable in my entire life

I’m really not sure, though, because they all look like scraps of sushi.

A many-plumed moth.-Spores&More

Ah I’ve never seen this moth before but looking up photos of it so thank you @sporesmore

So doing a little research, these moths are from the family Pterophoridae which are the plume moths.

The many-plumed moth wings are a modified so that the fore and hind wing are made up of six spines and have these little bristles all over them.

HI

I am the potoo

I spend most of my time sitting on the edges of tree branches,

pretending to be a stick or dead leaf

it’s not as easy as it looks

I sing virtually exclusively around the period of the full moon

because, according to legend,

I am a mournful spirit in love with the spirit of the moon
