There is nothing in the moth and insect kingdom as cool as the Leopord moth. This moth is white and has spots making it look like a fucking leopard. This cat moth can be found from New England into Mexico and if you are ever lucky enough to catch one you will marvel at its beauty. The markings of this moth are aposematic as a warning to creatures that potential predatation may not taste well or be well-being to your health.
These suckers re hard to catch or see being nocturnal and tend to swarm away from human habitation but for insect lovers such as myself these are top bugs to catch, kill, and put on a cardboard collection and mount on the wall.These things are pretty cool as a caterpillar too being among the very hairy of the creatures but nothing is cool than the perfectly circular sports of the moth and how nature developed and designed such little critters to be part of the environment with an intricate life cycle. When natural moth eating bastards do try to swallow these moths they get a droplet of yellow, acrid fluid from the thoracic glands of the leopard moth that gives what usually is an ignorant bird as terrible bitter tasting experience and makes it decide that seeds are a better alternative. One of the better insects designed by a creationist or that just naturally developed in the wild kingdom of insecticidia.
