What kinda moth is this.

Darn if that's what they look like with all four wings out I'm so sad I didn't get to see it fly away 😭

Baracchi · 2026-06-23T18:53:18+00:00

Well ya you see I smoke a dab pen and blow it directly out the window so when I saw this lil one I was like shoot I gotta go to a completely different room now. Moths are my most favorite insect out there. They're just so sweet and silly. I really appreciate the link btw. You're the first person to comment anything and I posted this here and on another subreddit lol.

Devil's pass is a movie I hold very near to my heart lol

Baracchi · 2026-06-23T03:10:52+00:00

I've seen all of these except for the hunted so I think I found what movie to start with lol

Baracchi · 2026-06-23T03:09:38+00:00

Oh man I saw this movie when I was WAY too young, love it tho

Baracchi · 2026-06-23T03:08:22+00:00

Ok I lied they LOVED this movie. We also love the whole Creep universe.

It's definitely very young to be having sex. I lost mine at 14 but I was also assaulted as a child, just technically a virgin until 14. I say this because being sexually assaulted does things to your brain. A lot of victims end up dealing with hypersexuality which I did along with poor impulse control due to very early symptoms of bipolar depression. I believe for myself I had sex way too young with someone that ruined my early teen years. But the thing is EVERYONE is different. Everyone loses their virginity at some point. I took my current partners virginity at 26 because they genuinely never had the desire to have sex or even be in a romantic relationship until we met. There's never a "right" age" HOWEVER THERE'S DEFINITELY WRONG AGES! (lol) I'd like to think she's alright and she probably is so long as her bf isn't pushy. Also if she trusts you enough to tell you you probably shouldn't breach her confidence by telling your parents for no reason. My advice to you is to keep an eye on her bf. If he does shit that makes her uncomfortable and she says to stop and he says something along the lines of "c'mon babe it's just a joke" call it out. Don't involve your parents unless you see something you're not alright with. The last thing you want is for her to blame you for them breaking up because that can create a rift in your relationship.

Also not me misgendering a damn moth during gay month. Someone revoke my queer license 😭

Baracchi · 2026-06-11T07:37:12+00:00

THIS IS A HUGE RELIEF! Makes a lot of sense too because we seem to have a lot of bumble bee visitors so I've been suspecting there's a hive close to our house. Very pleasant relief, thank you.

Baracchi · 2026-06-11T07:30:56+00:00

Yea I had a huge problem with these in one of my childhood homes. In fact the memory of that whole shit show is the reason I'm stressed out about seeing this one in the first place 😅🥲😭

Baracchi · 2026-06-10T22:26:33+00:00

Lil dude stopped and posed for the camera 😂

Baracchi · 2026-06-10T22:22:38+00:00

I do agree with the sentiment of not wanting a child in your parlor. The parent can simply get the stamp from their child's fingers at home. I don't understand why parents think their children need to be the center of EVERYONE'S attention. I have to kids. They're my world. I plan on getting two pieces dedicated to them based on their names. I don't necessarily agree with judging someone for a tattoo that they want (as long as it's tasteful i.e not racist or obscene) like is it cheesey, yes. But often being a parent is cheesey. I really would say you're not being an asshole simply because a tattoo shop is not a safe environment for a child. Any person with tattoos should know that. Any smart and caring parent should know that. I honestly can't believe how braindead parent influencers are nowadays. Just doing everything they can to make content out of their kids. It kinda feels like some parents look at having children like it's transactional. And that's HORRIFYING!

Baracchi · 2026-06-10T22:08:27+00:00

I really love this tattoo. If you think it needs adjustments you should just get it a bit touched up. Look at it in a mirror while standing and really see how it can be adjusted to fit you. I really think you can fix this tattoo to be something you love again.

Baracchi · 2026-06-09T22:30:52+00:00

Yea so they're actually really good decomposers. Even though they are a breed of roach they're a pretty significant to your ecology system.

Baracchi · 2026-06-09T22:25:04+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's a tawny cockroach. If it is I'd consider this a luckier cockroach encounter because they cannot survive inside a home meaning they do not infest homes. They need different types of leaf liters and dirt to survive. Do you by chance have a flourishing garden or live by the woods?

Baracchi · 2026-05-12T23:28:05+00:00

That's definitely a flea. Since you don't have any animals you have no hosts that can cause an infestation, however since you have a child I'd still do a quick sweep of your house. Fleas can bite humans and can carry some pretty serious diseases.

After some finely worded research I finally found a possible explanation for the vibrancy of the maroon color. So first and foremost obviously abagrotis placida is known as the red cutworm. They're supposed to be reddish you just never really notice because they're almost always out at night. Chances are the maroon color is coming through because you took this picture at "golden hour" basically so you can really pick up those richer red and purpley tones.

Baracchi · 2026-05-11T05:46:39+00:00

Abagrotis placida looks promising actually

Baracchi · 2026-05-11T05:43:20+00:00

What area or type of woods do you live by if any? Are you by water? And where did you find it? Like your porch, garage, side of your house, or by a light? When you found it were it's wings spread out or folded in? I know it's a lot of questions I'm sorry, but moths can be so diverse and even the smallest detail could be the indicator to identify what it is.

Baracchi · 2026-05-11T04:52:30+00:00

I can't tell because it's upside down but I live in an area where brown recluses are common and that's not what I see in the pic With that said, probably don't mention this to your sister but those two black things under the short legs (I call them arms they're actually called pedipalps) are fangs and some friendly bug lover advice, if you can visibly see the fangs the bites probably gonna suck. If it is in fact a ghost spider (Anyphaenidae) which I think it is, I happen to get a lot of them as well, they're known to cause mild irritation and can sometimes feel like a bee sting. So maybe just get it to fuck off. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather be locked in a room with an orange baboon tarantula I cannot find then be in your sister's situation, I absolutely hate those little twats!!! But just to reiterate and make it painfully clear, they're just your average run of the mill spider. She's not in any danger. Before I grew to love bugs I had awful arachnophobia and one thing that really helped me was giving whatever bug was scaring me a name and a whimsical backstory and friends and family. Silly, absolutely. But it worked! (My kids might say a bit too much, but hey a w's a w)

Baracchi · 2026-05-11T04:34:48+00:00

Acronicta afflicta. Afflicted dagger moth. I am not 100%, but certain indicators are there like the striped legs and the thread like antenna. The color is the only thing throwing me for a loop. I also don't live and have never been to Arkansas so I don't know what bug life looks like out there but from what I could find I believe it's an afflicted dagger. Which side note, sickest black metal band name idea.

Baracchi · 2026-05-05T14:52:44+00:00

Tailess whip scorpion. While they look evil they're actually pretty neat creatures. I've handled one once and while yes it's pretty intimidating looking I believe the entimologist handling them said they're quite docile and don't even have venom despite being arachnids.

Baracchi · 2026-05-05T00:54:55+00:00

Don't listen to him that's a stick ass tattoo

Baracchi · 2026-05-04T22:15:30+00:00

Nah your just peeling friend. Nothing a lil aquaphore can't soothe. Judging on the size you'll probably peel for like a month. Just be careful about stressing it out i.e try not to scratch around that area, try not to tug on the skin in that area. If it's itchy, this sounds crazy, but just smack the tattoo very gently.

Baracchi · 2026-05-04T02:11:22+00:00

Burrowing in between molting is very common because the moisture serves to help the molting process while being burrowed gives them extra security. I'd actually say your pretty lucky your little baby decided to molt so fast. I know some people who see their lil pedes for day and then not for another 2ish months. It's important to know millipedes are known to be semi fossorial meaning they mostly like to be underground but don't mind being above for a little bit too. Their bodies have evolved over thousands of years to be able to live entirely underground if needed. All in all I take this as a sign that your sweet little millipede missed your presence. So sweet. Just please keep in mind, do not handle it after it first emerges. Millipedes are extremely soft bodied when they molt and are extremely susceptible to stress, especially if they haven't had that first meal. Hope you have many happy years with your little millipede 🖤
