OMG, it's MOTHRA! (junior) ;) However, it's just a fascinating looking insect. I'd love to see one live.

Does anyone else notice the similarities between this moth and Gizmo the gremlin from Gremlins (1984)? http://tinyurl.com/9t8xphy

The best argument yet to have your poodle spayed or neutered.

She is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to have her for a pet. I'd treat her like a princess.
