Moths are just as valid as butterflies!
As a moth aficionado, I’d say they’re much more interesting. They evolved 90 million years before butterflies. There are also 9 times as many moth species as butterfly species. They’re also more efficient at pollination than not only butterflies but bees. Go moths!
They aren’t related? Like it’s convergent evolution shit? Or are they like moth and butterflies
Butterflies are considered to have evolved from moths.
In French they are all butterflies (papillons). There once was a distinction between butterflies and night butterflies (moths) but apparently it’s now obsolete and they are just all lepidoptera.
That seems crazy. All butterflies come from moths, so it’d make more sense for Papillon to mean moth. It’s like calling everything from the order Rodentia a Capybara, or everything in Eulipotyphla a hedgehog, both things within those orders in smaller numbers.
Weirdly enough, language largelt evolves independently from other species.
Do the micro moths include the ones in cupboards and closets?
I hate those fuckers. They infested the family house and we can’t seem to get rid of them.
You have to check everything. We found them nesting in the fucking wallpaper.
Ahh… Nice read. Thank you
Makes sense to me, they’re so furry they must carry pollen everywhere
Ohh no, Shitty Moth gonna drop a long ass comment about his own experience of something then sneakily add in the end the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
Lol, that guy isn’t here is he?
He was. I remember seeing him shortly after all the Reddit drama went down
Shittymorph? The legend.
Moths are cooler.
Finally I can be nocturnal and not be judged for it
Mothra has entered the chat
Kafka would have been proud!
The moonlight butterfly in DS1 is actually based off a type of moth; but “moonlight moth” doesn’t sound nearly as fantasy.
Shitty Moth Comix!
A perfect companion to my Teen Borscht Belt Comix collection, ay-ya-yay meshuga! Oy vey!EDIT: what would that look like, exactly… Archie and Jughead wearing yarmulkes?
I’m more impressed they were able to zip all the way up with that zipper on the outside.
IRL many sleeping bags have handles on both sides of the zipper.
Thanks, I genuinely didn’t know that. I haven’t gone camping in decades, since I was literally a child.
