I wrote a whole thing about what moths I would assign the major characters from my fic and I decided to post it here too for pictures.
I mostly chose this moth because of its looks to be honest but it's name also sounds like euclydia and triangle so-
Carla: Privet hawk moth ( Sphinx ligustri)
Hawk moths are known for being mistaken for hummingbirds and that kind of reminded me how Carla is a vampire trying to blend in with humans. Not to mention this specific hawk moth has some pink highlights(which I know ain't the same as magenta but it's close enough)
Fiddleford: Yellow striped owl moth (cyligramma latona)
A moth species that lives in Tennessee and is widely known because of it's distinctive pattern. The eyes reminded me of Fiddleford's zodiac symbol and I think the warm colors suit him
Emma-May: Luna moth (actias luna)
Admittedly I mainly choose this one because the light green color reminded me of Emma-May but there's more to it. Luna moths live in Alabama and are known for their short life spans(and no mouths). Don't worry Emma-May won't die but she's been thinking about death her entire life because of spoiler reasons. Not to mention her dreams and aspirations revolve around long dead creatures. So yeah, I think it fits.
Ford: Atlas moth (attacus atlas)
A giant warm colored moth that can stand out easily with four triangles on it's wings(like four eyes the insult and triangles like Bill). It's similar to how Ford stands out both for his personality and his fingers. The atlas part also reminded me of Ford because its atlas like a map, like how Ford dreamed of traveling the world as a kid.
Stan: Peppered moth (biston betularia)
A moth that's really good at camouflage and looks like someone splattered paint all over it(and we know Stan liked art as a kid and still uses creative talents in the present and future). Peppered moths are mainly known for the story of how they became blacker after the industrial revelation in England to adapt to the soot covered trees and environment. And not to make a real world issue about a fictional character but like-adaptable moths adaptable man.
Tate: Grease moth (aglossa cuprina)
It's just a common little moth with a fun pattern. Not everyone in the family needs to be a unique looking moth. Kinda represents how Tate will grow up to just be a chill guy that likes fishing.
Earnest(She only shows up from time to time but I wanted to give her a moth): Virgin tiger moth (apantesis virgo)
Just a little moth with a fun lace-looking pattern and pink lower wings. Sometimes the pattern on their lower wings looks like hearts. There isn't much said about Earnest(because it isn't really important) but she's kind of a hopeless romantic that has some strange interests. She's very sweet and is just trying to live her vampire life.
