I love how their wings say: "I am class!" And how their tiny legs say: "WEEEEE!"
-
Moths are underrated, I've always had a fascination for them. When they're not eating my clothes or bouncing on my monitor at night they're just cute and fluffy little friendos
-
I've always found moths to be just as beautiful as butterflies, they're all so unique and far too many people have that misconception they'll hurt you so they fear something that shouldn't be feared.
-
I absolutely love how Chonky the Rosy Maple moth looks. Even though I know the video is slowed down, it seems like it struggled to take off in flight because it's such a big ball of fluff. The little wave in the beginning also stole my heart.
-
I love how whenever they take flight they raise their little legs and I just imagine they go "weeee!" moths are so adorable
-
This really highlights how much energy it take to fly. These lil’ guys are pumping their wings so hard to get their pudgy bodies to take flight!
-
1:39 Can we talk about how majestic this shot is? It looks like an angel taking flight omg
-
The energy needed to take off must be tremendous
-
I never thought about where moths go with their legs when they're flying and it looks like they haven't, either. It's so funny how their legs are just dangling around awkwardly. Moths are a blessing upon this god forsaken planet.
-
It’s adorable how their legs raise up when they’re about to fly.. like they’re cheering! “Weeeeeee!”
-
2:29 I love how when this moth takes off its wings lose some little glitter scales, like pixie dust from a little fairy 😊
-
You have single-handedly made me see the range of beauty and grace of moths. After lifetime of loathing the damage they have caused to clothing and food, I’m grateful for the more appreciative insights.
-
Butterflies seem to get all the love among colorful, winged creatures... while moths most people react with disgust or fear to. My opinion might be unpopular but personally I always found moths more fascinating. Not to even mention how some of them look like a cross between an insect and an owl! Adorable lil buggers.
-
the fact that these are alive and breathing and i get to exist at the same time as them makes me go absolutely feral and hog-wild
-
I love how big moths are really chunky but they have huge wings to offset the fact they are that big. Absolutely outstanding footage, the scale tornado from the Beautiful wood-nymph was incredible.
-
Moths don't get enough press. Some of them are exquisite.
-
literally crying at the sight of these beautiful and comically chunky moths taking flight
-
As someone who has always feared moths, it is nice to see them like this. They aren't as dusty and scary as I'd thought, although in slow motion, on a screen with ethereal background music just might help.
-
It looks so dirpy yet magnificent. Also this really shows how much effort there is in flying
-
These beautiful little creatures are so mesmerizing. I love moths. ps: The way they all just reach upwards with their tiny little paws when they take off is just the cutest thing
