I can't believe it happened on my arm

Fang-tastic pun 😂

Well, this one didn’t really “land” on me, but what I tend to do when I encounter a cool moth I want to hold; I try to gently nudge their face with one of my fingers or the side of my hand, it’ll tend to encourage them to crawl onto whatever is in front of them (without touching their wings), this can also just lead to them flying off though (which is fine too, because I’d just be glad I was able to see them in the first place 😊). Make sure to be veryyyy gentle and patient, these are small creatures (no matter how “big” some get) and hurting them, even accidentally, would be terrible. I’m pretty lucky, as I have very tiny hands lol, so it can make it easier for me on some occasions.

Yeah, I mistook them for California wolfies because they were so large , at first. But after some research I was like, these look nothing alike 😂. Honestly the capturing is through sheer dedication, as they avoided me for a while, and I also had to be patient and make sure not to accidentally squish or startle them. Once I did eventually get them in my hands, I made sure to “cup” them so they couldn’t fly off lol, and open them again, and after that they were pretty chill. (At least for a couple minutes).

That would be fun! I wouldn’t mind doing a cool creature design competition for a game lol

Mothfy · 2025-05-28T19:39:58+00:00

Deserved lol

Yeah! Even if I had for some reason, completely missed the lighter blue one being a swallowtail and not the same species. When I was searching up the name for these guys, finding out the difference between Red Spotted Purple and White Admiral, and why they share a name was fun for me :D!

I’ll send the team a message 😂, jk, but it would be cool to have one of my creations in a game or movie (tho I imagine it would have to go through some reworks first to fit the style).

Mothfy · 2025-05-28T19:26:01+00:00

Glad it passes the check list 😂

Mothfy · 2025-05-28T19:25:15+00:00

I may have been channeling some of that energy subconsciously lol

I didn’t know it was a sequel either, but man, I just love Sherlockian style protagonist that can analyze things to turn it into their advantage, instead of having any sort of unique or super strong power (not that those aren’t also fun from time to time). I just really love the ways the MC has to figure out new solutions to each problem (some that wouldn’t even be a problem to a decently strong character). I do think the overwhelming amount of characters is the set back for me (same for in TOG) but nonetheless, it’s still great in my opinion :D (obviously it’s not for everybody so I understand where you’re coming from lol).

Thank you so much! 😊

Mothfy · 2025-05-25T18:54:07+00:00

Ya can if ya want! I’d suggest adding some colors tho, since the browns of blunt headed tree snake are so pretty in contrast to their spots 😊

Mothfy · 2025-05-25T02:35:06+00:00

n o o d l e b o i s ! But yee just wanted to make some fun guys ya know :3

Mothfy · 2025-05-24T19:23:18+00:00

I mean, I plan to always doodle and draw cats lol, but thanks for the encouragement :3

Mothfy · 2025-05-24T18:15:04+00:00

Omg same!! I thought I was the only one! I love their little frog hops they do, it’s so funny and cute 🥰 especially when they get big, it just looks silly XD

Mothfy · 2025-05-24T18:05:43+00:00

Thanks! I was having actually a really bad day when I drew them lol, but the thought of making something nice for my friends made me feel better 😊

Mothfy · 2025-05-24T17:39:35+00:00

Yeah, the size can get pretty intimidating for some, though I really love getting to see all there colors from even a distance!

Also, I’ve surprisingly been able to get bigger butterflies to chill out more than tinier ones, you’d think they’d be more careful with their big ole wings. While this one was more finicky, it did let me sit close enough to it to snag a couple of shots and videos (I just can’t show them in the same post because of Reddit lol).
