giant wood moths are wild, I really wanna meet one. they weigh up to 30 grams, which is super hefty for a moth. to lift that much weight they end up having a wingspan of about 20cm.
they have a fuzzy heart-shaped pattern on their head and their front legs look like pipe cleaners. I bet they're super soft.
they're only found in a few areas of Australia and they're a comparatively rare sight even then.

- an extremely large brown and black moth stood on someone's wrist, spanning their whole hand and up to their sleeve. the legs look like long fluffy trousers with black and white striped feet poking out. (unknown image source; was sent to me recently and has done the rounds on so many social media sites that finding the original photographer is basically impossible) (remote)
