RE: Mothra vs Tuck Fheman - [Original Photos] - What the Hell is this thing?! [5 SBD Reward]
I will go ahead and inform everyone that after some research I have determined that @artist1989 correctly identified it as a ...
"Hummingbird Moth"
I originally thought they were giving a joke answer, but that's what the damn thing is called! :)
It's like when I told my wife that we needed another hummingbird bush but didn't know what the plant was called. I get to the garden center, find a plant that looks like the bush in our backyard, turn the tag over and it reads, "Hummingbird Bush". :)
I'm sending 5 SBD to you artist1989 for guessing correctly, but I'll still reward the best non-correct answer another 5 SBD, so keep guessing! :)
man, missed this one. theres even a TMBG song about them. That said, if youre in the US as ive assumed from other posts, this is most likely a 5-spotted hawk moth, not a hummingbird hawk moth. but theyre close cousins.
Hrmm, you know what. I think you are correct! Due to the abdomen markings and areas they are known to reside in, this is more likely to be a 5-Spotted Hawk Moth. However, the 5SHM is also called a "Hummingbird Moth" so artist1989 is still correct with their answer.
However, since you have more precisely identified the beast, you win as well! And since you more precisely identified it ... thereby making me appear smarter tomorrow when I give this information to my neighbor ... I'm sending you 6 SBD. :)
Thanks!
OK this contest is now over!
Unless you just want to continue making up names for shits & giggles. :)
lol wow thanks
Thanks!! :)
