Stiff Posted July 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Well, I've never come across anything like that in all my life. I think I would have freaked out if I'd have found that in my house! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander CMG Posted July 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Its a Gandhi moth... or at least that's how I spell it, I don't think it has an English name, just a massive latin type one... Creepy has hell but many moths are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted July 4, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It's always a good idea to read the whole article. It tells you what the critter is: Quote As it turns out however, Hari's unusual visitor was in fact a harmless species of moth known as Creatonotos gangis which is typically native to Australia and south-east Asia. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/328813/weird-alien-like-creature-filmed-in-indonesia 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopod Posted July 5, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Its just a moth. They use those appendages to disperse pheromones to attract females. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
