The Rosy Maple moth is my favorite so it makes me happy to se it as the first one. It's a good moth to represent the cute or adorable aspect of moths. There is a similar, almost identical fuzzy wig moth like them that is entirely white.

I think their flight is a good representation of Douglas Adams' description of flight being falling without hitting the ground.

Such a great channel and good start to the day.




Yes, Douglas Adams sums up pretty well the flight of moths. But the Guide is even funnier, it says that to fly, one must "throw themselves at the ground and miss".


That's how you get orbits.


THAT'S the quote. Thank you.

It seems like moths, and many other insects, throw themselves at everything and just miss most of the time.
