MOTH!!
I never posted the moth here cause I was away from tumblr at the time but I think that it's really pretty and deserves some love
It's a swallow-tailed moth, apparently they aren't commonly seen due to their short emergence period, and due to the fact that it was very sleepy it didn't seem to mind getting picked up and moved to a safer place to hide
They also have amazing caterpillars!!
Like wtf is this twig doing turning into a moth??!!
Evolution is crazy man
