Yeah! I think thats it! Especially the waves on the upper wing and the dark spots. The antennae also look the same.
Super interesting to think he’ll only be alive for at most one more week. Still glad I saved him from the kindergardeners lol
Thanks for helping with the ID :)
Close, but this guy has these eye like holes towards the upper center of his wings, and the lower lobe is a slightly different shape where it attaches to the body. I wish I had been able to got a pic while his wings were open.
Edited to add: thanks for the idea though :) someone else did ID what I think is the right species, the polyphemus moth
Super interesting! Im a big proponent for recognizing conciousness, intellegence, and even life as a spectrum. Humans are naturally biased towards our own type of intellegence but there is so much more out there.
Recognizing the diversity of intellegence opens up so many new possibilities for us to gain new insight into the world and ourselves.
I also really like how the theory highlights the importance of cooperation in life/intellgence. Its through many types of intellegences working together that life is able to do so many miraculous things.
Right!? I wish I was small enough I could pet his fur and maybe fly around a bit lol
