It's beautiful. It's like a normal moth, only with purple ano bits on its back.

Inspiration for an olive green and pink build, go together well I think

When I were a lad ( ) there was a place near me where you could see loads of these. Just down the road you could also find Puss moth caterpillars.

And if you think they look creepy what do you think of this?
