Hey guys! Look! There's a bat flying around outside! Nope, it's the most roided-out moth I've ever seen in my life or heard of!! For scale, there is a regular moth in the photo also (the white bug above) and he's on a cedar house shingle.
Watch out or he'll flap at your face and make you worry about having moth nightmares!
Elaine and I inspect the specimen closer and in our wine-loving state I proclaim that this beast is "Devil Open Mouth" due to the 'devil barfing pattern' on it's back. It also looks to have a garter snake on each wing; therefore "Double Snake Wing". No doubt a clever trick to scare away predators and fascinators. It's working...
Much fascination and disgust ensued until the bugger flew off after about 20 minutes.
