Walker's Moth

Sosxetra grata

Yes, this colorful furry creature is a moth! And one of the most stylish out of the cutworm moths and allies family (Noctuidae) - at least in my opinion!

Found in Latin America with sightings from Mexico all the way down to the state of Rio Grande Do Sul

Previously thought to be monotypic (meaning it's the only species in its genus) but some new research proposes a few species within its genus

Described by Francis Walker, hence the name Walker's Moth

Despite looking fuzzy, moth's wings are actually comprised of scales, and in this case, Walker's Moth's fur-like scales help with insulation to maintain temperature

dude, this is really scary, and liminal as well. It's like the bathrooms

Morning-glory Plume Moth

Emmelina monodactyla

Also known as the Common Plume, and (I've personally seen it) often referenced as the IUD moth, for obvious reasons. But it is in fact a moth, not flying birth control!

Found in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America

Plume moths are often compared to fairies and have many species, as well as a variety called Many-plumed Moths with wings that look like fans!

This moth often rests with its wings collapsed as seen in the picture above (not collapsed wings shown below on the bottom right)

Have a lot of color variation ranging from white to to a rusty brown
