unpinning a Malaysian Moon Moth (actias maenas) 💛 some signs of wear and tear but most importantly the wingtails are intact! 🌼 wingtails are great defence mechanisms. moths move them in a way to distract a predators aim, and they snap off expendably leaving the moth to fly away unscathed (if a little shorter!) ✨ i won't even get into how they're able to jam bats echolocation 😂 that's for a seperate time! 🦇 - #moonmoth #moths #insectagram #entomology #sciencefacts #natureismetal | Stoned Affe
