Not a very high risk of it spreading in the wild. I expect it probably came from a cocoon transported with a plant from Asia
The Atlas moth has a very short, vestigial proboscis, and they do not eat once they have emerged from the cocoon, relying on fat storage for energy. Every flight takes valuable energy and can take days off their already short lives, as it has a very short life span of only one to two weeks.[7] They conserve energy by flying as little as possible. A female will wait for a male to come along and be fertilised, lay eggs and die.

ETA: ooh this is fun. If you open the tone generator in two browsers and play different frequencies you can hear the aliasing effect.

Older than coral (245-208 million years ago), they deposit silica instead of calcium carbonate.
Hm. The BC reefs are only ~8,000 years old. Were they couch-surfing before that?

Yeah, tonedeaf in most settings.
Somethinglike “Maybe try being more healthy by eating less meat” would be more persuasive.

Sudan to Ethiopia? That’s a pretty short flight. They took off, reached cruising altitude, and then fell into deep sleep that quickly? Wow!

Kids school just got one of these. So cool. They will give each kid a token for a book on their birthday (or un-birthdays for summer bdays).

All appliances sold in the UK have had to come with a fitted plug since 1992.
And since we’ve mentioned British plugs, I am obliged by law to post this video.

But what if you have to fart? That could be dangerous to bystanders.

You have a much closer relationship to strangers than I’m comfortable with.
I guess some of us are just introverts.

It’s PETA. They don’t care about convincing anyone. They just want you to know they’re better than you.
