GIANT CECROPIA MOTHS ON CACOON (07.06.21) 1

Wild Cecropia moths. One emerged on the first day of summer.

One moth had just emerged from its cocoon (shown) and was still hanging on it (07.06.21), when another came in to mate. Cecropia moths are very rare here, so that it is amazing that another one found it.

The male has a bushier antenna with a yellow tip. The female appears larger and has a much larger thicker abdomen.

They are the largest North American moth and can have a wingspan of 6 inches. They belong to the family Saturniidae and can be referred to as silkworm moths. The female emits a pheromone that a male can smell (with his antenna) a mile or more away. The mated pair will stay together for a day or so.

So a leaf of grass is less proof because it doesn't immediately amaze/trouble you? or the sketchy appereance of abyssal fauna disproves an intelligent designer?...

What you said doesn't need evidence to be refuted: it's simply a (non sequitur) fallacie. The appropriate following answer when asked about something out of our league is "I don't know" and not: "A wizard did it". The fact you alone can't grasp the causes of a given phenomena doesn't make it magic.

@DaProlifik1reaLyrics It is evolution dumbass, they slowly adapt new designs and colors on their wings to better scare off predators that might eat it, hince the "snakes head" on the tip of the wings.

irrefutable indeed, it is amazing what Her most awesome Goddess created in this world.

[DaProlifik1reaLyrics]

this is irrefutable evidence of God's existance for all to see. You can't look at that pattern and tell me that's evolution, unless evolution is designed.
