Moth???

In the article I drew these photos from it says it's called Mosera apollinairei but I can't find any info on them

Moths are currently undergoing a lot of taxonomic revision so that might be why

The article says Dognin discovered them, and he worked mainly on South American moths so yeah it's probably from around there.

improved mothgregor! with two different colors for fluff.

specific species of moth {for inspiration} is the Venezuelan Poodle Moth.

and these things are soooo fluffy. add it to the list of animals that look fake.

credit to friendo for saying champagne would make a lovely moth boi. i have to say i agree!

dr moth-gregor. esteemed bio-engineer, rarely flies(if ever) due to frequent breakouts at his job. lost two arms in an incident undisclosed to public.

bottom right: how to distract bf while you're trying to fix his arms.

bottom left: slightly ripped up wing.

top left: pre-sharp v champagne. lower arms hang at sides because they aren't properly made.
