[TiffyTaRd]

I have a phobia of moths and butterfies.... I wish I didn't click this :(

[funtube99999]

@TiffyTaRd What makes you scared of butterflies? I mean they are colorful, completely harmless and so nimble, am I not right?

[iheartkathyy]

@TiffyTaRd me too. im deathly afraid of butterflies and moths...

[Repenter101]

I think she likes you.

[GAARA114]

the most beautiful thing ive seen [insect] but...stay away please.

[Ddawson28066]

We have giant moths in australia but theyre just a shitty brown colour... and ive seen em get to about 20cm but this is just nuts...

[zevenech]

In our country, we call it Mariposa. And i remember that I'm really scared of it when i was a kid.

[DethklawExodus]

if i EVER see a moth that big ILL SHIT OUT MY HEART AND LUNGS

[luckystar12341]

If I saw that thing in my house I would be like awwww then set it free

[albert88721]

Is this from planet pandora ?

[ChainsawPG]

EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Amazing.

[SprUnknown]

That's absolutely amazing, it's almost unreal.

[thezackwalkumu]

mothra!

[asim5airbender]

HOLY MOOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST! that thing is too big to be beautiful, Fucking freaky man

who'd wanna see a butterfly that big flying around your house?

Damn man too creepy

[shingstar1]

damn pokemons.

[XTrevvion]

@shingstar1 MY GOD, STOP! STOP WITH ALL THESE DAMNED POKEMON COMMENTS!!!

[Misteve101]

Beautiful.... it looks like something you would find in a fantasy movie ( if you get what i mean XD )

[CincyDirtyBird]

I have been hiking and gathering Cocoons allot over the past 3 yrs. To keep in safe harbor, release and enjoy. This is a nice video. Is this a Prometheus? SP? I have what may be Prometheus and Cecropia cocoons mainly.... Thanks much! I am hoping to learn more to where and how to locate more such cocoons.

[xMamaxDuckx]

Also: How much does that moth weigh? It's beautiful, but I can't imagine it's very light by insect standards.

[AJMontyBird]

Awe, she's so fuzzy and Mothra-esque! :3

[supraelite07]

can it fly?

[sherox08]

Want!

[GodlyBasilisk]

what website do i order it from?

[Aranel1200]

moths are so cute, their fuzzy and colorful :3

[perfecttwo96]

its so pretty :)

[DethklawExodus]

i am tearrified of moths i know its pathetic but its the truth

if i seen one that huge ill freak out

[clausyta]

@DethklawExodus ..i'll die!!! OMG!!!!! i really hate them!

[xMamaxDuckx]

@DethklawExodus My brother (25 years old) is terrified not necessarily of moths but of the fluttering of their wings (IDEK). If he saw a moth even half as big as this, he would just piss himself.

[bumblecreek477]

@DethklawExodus it's not pathetic i feel the same way. especially huge ones like that. without those wings it's basically just a giant worm. i wouldn't want something like that on my hand.

[sarahmuslima95]

@DethklawExodus u r not alone i would run like the wind if i saw one of those XD

[TheChristanGirl7]

@DethklawExodus Let it be noted ALL BUGS FREAK ME OUT.

One night I heard this thumping out side my window. Then I heard it go all the way from one end of the house to the other. I looked out the front door and saw a huge moth like that one in the video. It kept beating its wings aginst the front part of the house going from one end to the other. Can someone tell me why he was doing that?

[bee8042]

i freaking out

[iamnotamouseok]

i've seen bigger, but it was on a video game. Resident Evil: Outbreak

[78violetfantic]

tried to get over my mottephobia with this video... yea it didnt't work T.T

[ybmagpye]

THAT is the scariest, prettiest insect I've ever seen. Hate to run into one of those in a dark alley I can tell you...

[widgeasha]

that moth is SO beautiful!!

[kyleASHMORE]

This thing looks like Mothra more than a Pokemon.

[ibidydo]

polly want a cracker

[awferfuksake]

Beautiful. I bet it must've taken ages for the fairies to paint its wings. Lol ;-)

[jakewolf16]

I actually think it seems kind of cute

[phlexonance]

What do you do with it? How do you hold it? What does it eat? How long does it live?

[officialaline1]

You can order the cocoons online :D

[vladostefanek]

@officialaline1 yes, :)

[blueluny]

That's no moth...its a tattood BAT!

[GothicsChocolate]

oh wow!! :D

[RainyDayGirlx]

Wow it is beautiful. I agree with some of the other people here, it reminds me of a Pokemon.  Probably Dustox more than Venomoth though.

[0Prideviet]

NO ! VENOMOTH!!!!! even tho its not poisonous lol

[ZAVGreviews]

DAMN NATURE! U SCARY!

[GlompoFie]

So is it your pet or is it wild? She's very beautiful. If she is your pet, how long did it take to get her used to being on your hand?

[Seelenfeuer666]

You are the guy from The silence of the lambs, right?

[DeAzncy]

KOG'MAW

[TheVraccy]

holly shit that thing is huge!

[ihaveaverybadcold]

OH HELL NO!!!!

[CJstylez]

It's Butterfree!!

[EliteSlayer004]

Thats a fucking FEMALE???

I would hate to see a MALE

[cheergirl158]

@EliteSlayer004 Actually, the females are larger than the males.

[iAMx12eece]

I WOULD FUCKING BURN THAT THING.

[d1V1n3d]

@iAMx12eece

and why ? its a beautiful insect

why are so many ppl as dumb as u and only think bout "kill"

there are more reasons to burn humans than any animal, cuz they aint destroying the nature which humans do in perfection, despite multiplying like roaches

[iAMx12eece]

@d1V1n3d  wat

[goldenzebrastripes]

Isnt that a moon moth? Used to see them under glass wow nice.

[moochabod]

16 people are like "fuck that atacus atlas female moth"

[BayCollins77]

good luck with your curtains



[NiteReepa]

Just emerged from a cocoon I imagine, it would explain the shivering, it's trying to get blood into its wings (or the insect equivalent there-of)

[cwross1976]

dino-bugs...

[EverythingNice202]

do moths bite?

[FiestyCat86]

@EverythingNice202 No they don't have teeth.

[LyleVertigo]

@EverythingNice202 Moths have a straw-like proboscis used for drinking nectar and does not pierce. However, even though they emerge with them after metamorphosis, they do not feed during adult stage. Life of an adult is to mate, lay eggs and die.

[annnnnaaaaa1]

Its so pwwetty :L

[JudgeOnTheMenu]

I can't imagine it is good for one's health to inhale when it's flapping its wings.

[saganemc2]

how long do they live?

[JoleDiosa]

omg qe asco

[stucool17]

This is terrifying.

[Ceunon20]

Beautiful!

[sporecreatorperson]

Look out! It's Grand MOTH Tarkin!

I am so funny.

[jofa117]

Pokemon Joke

[MetalSpiral]

I find the way its wings vibrate really cute for some reason.

[PoemOf4Letters]

Freaking awesome!

[LittleMissFoxy123]

DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY

[Jenna3220]

Oh no, no, no, no... I am terrified of moths! If I saw something like this I'd probably pass out cold. Props to you for bravery!

[Shadowblood66]

@Jenna3220 But they are awesome! Think of them as flying paintings! ^^

[Killerjosh89]

@Jenna3220 why are u scared of moths? lol baby chicks can do more harm then a moth like this

[Xsilentpk]

I suddenly become itchy when watching things like these... thumbs up if you agree!?!?!?

[Shadowblood66]

By the way I got them from the Lepidoptera Breeders Association (LBA, it's a website that sells moths and butterflies.)

If you're interested go look at "Livestock -> silkmoths". You can find it somewhere around page 7 :P

[Shadowblood66]

I got 18 of these at home :P

Well.. they are still caterpillars... they are eating machines!

[gxsrripper]

every time i have something good to say its allready top comment. ill say it anyways. holy sheeet its Mothera!!!! :O

[MegaLamar01]

gtf

[scratchkitteh]

WOW IT'S HUGE!!! :O

[ArthurGCGCGC]

It's huge!

[Tactic11]

What a beautiful animal. Nature amazes me constantly, as to what evolution can churn out. It truly is marvelous.

[velvetrevolver6661]

if i seen that coming towards me.. id fucking run for my life... its HUGE!!

[redeyeshadowkitten]

Ohh my goodness I want one! he looks so friendly

[airfeek00]

pokeball go!!

[mikamai]

Beautiful.

Too bad they don't live very long. :(

[stupidrandomman444]

@mikamai I know! I wish they lived for years so I could keep them as pets for longer. My house would be freaking full of moths.

[stmboyfgh]

So pretty



[Theonegamefreak]

Cute yet disgusting. 

[THANATOS112220]

@Theonegamefreak Its not disgusting at all, it looks cool.

[Theonegamefreak]

@THANATOS112220 Some people think bugs are disgusting. I am one of those people.

[THANATOS112220]

@Theonegamefreak hahahah its okay, I don't think they are disgusting at all, but I can fear them pretty easy.

[ludobiko6]

vengo de ver un video donde un sujeto dice que una mariposa enorme ( un globo en forma de mariposa, lo va a atacar, que porqueria ) a diferencia de este video AAAAAAAAHHHHH es enorme la mariposa, lastima que el video dure poco,GRACIAS.

[ItEm55]

@ludobiko6 No es una mariposa, es una polilla. :D

[xboxzone96]

watch wile you can i have heard that this birdwing is about to extinct because of human activity upon their natural habitat and greed for money.

[MonicaReally]

so. beautiful

[runza123]

I can see the skulls 0.o....

[Prov1210]

i saw a huge moth similar to this many years ago. do they live in or vist the southern US?

[Lazerouss]

YOU HAVE TO GET A GIANT LIZARD AND MAKE HIM AND MOTHRA FIGHT

[thekornfreak1994]

where do you get them

i want one

[Stewie5791]

I wish i had the courage to at least touch a little worm.

[enzaabc]

is that real..

[gansterlicous]

Got dammit where the hell is my pokeball

[wolftiger]

Very pretty :3

[joniwone]

THAT IS COOLER THEN ANY OF THOUS FUCKING CHIHUAHUA`s!!

[dazzmaster300]

how did you manage to catch it?? i thought moths tend to fly away from danger..

[TakeruKun1oo]

Will it blend?

[DeAThME7aL]

Take it easy Mothra! We'll call you when Godzilla starts wrecking shit

[laputadetumadre11]

I would have shot that thing 9 times and then burn it. I can't believe people actually keep these things as pets and try to breed them. Freaks.

[stupidrandomman444]

@laputadetumadre11 There's no reason to hate on them. They are completely harmless as they have no mouths to bite with. They do nothing but fly around and lay eggs. They are very delicate and couldn't hurt anyone or anything if they tried.

[laputadetumadre11]

@stupidrandomman444 kill it...kill it with fire.

[tingly7654321]

@laputadetumadre11 i hope you are just trolling and are actually not that ignorant.

[laputadetumadre11]

@tingly7654321 thats not a troll,who wants to keep demonic creatures as pets?

[tingly7654321]

@laputadetumadre11 satan

[jumpypony]

Hi! So,can/ how do you keep these beautiful animals as pets? Is there a special cage? I use to raise butterflies, but the netting would break their wings. Also, where do you go about getting one?

[MrMRPKY]

Um is it. Moth or a butterfly

[vinicalil1994]

karalho O.o q medo...



[RoccaforteAmps]

[PopTartNeko]

I'm not sure if I'm scared or just damn amazed

[THEGAMINGRULER]

[830texas830]

HOLY MOTHER DUCK!!!!!

[sk6er]

Krásný, je to ještě naživu? =)

[53Artemis]

Wow! Isn't Mother Nature clever.

[HughMcVea]

What a beautiful and totally harmless insect.

[y3wt3wbz]

[QhaoticZombie]

[edmcadam]

[TheaterTurkey]

I have 4 of those and a Luna moth and they mated 0_o cant wait to see the results.

[timeparadox888]

@TheaterTurkey They don't have the same genus, so probably nothing.

Oh well, at least they tried...

Or maybe they'll break the laws of nature and produce a Celestial Jesus Moth.

[McDarnick]

buterfree

[Mosse190]

Not only is it beautiful, it is also HUGE!

[ByTheWayImMe]

I blame global warming. (jokesjokes)

[WatchdogDisciple]

[perryluv]

[Leonarene]

[geniemist]
