Anatomy and physiology

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Munaris are humanoid moth like species, mixed with Mammalian aspect like bats.

They're covered in tiny scales called setae, which make them look like they're covered in fur. [Munaris consider it offensive to refer to their setae as fur.] 

They have leathery skin on parts not covered by fur. 

They have insect-like eyes with white pupils. They have large bat-like noses, and they have large ears that look very fluffy. They have large protruding fangs that pop out of their snout.  They have large fluffy manes around their necks, while their chests and stomachs are fluffless. 

Parts of their arms, tail, stomach, and legs are "furless."

Munaris coloring is not genetically based but on what moons they're born under. They're moon worshippers.

their colors are markings are that like other real world moths

Examples

Maxine = North American Luna moth Roxanne = Garden tiger moth Beatrix: = Deathhead hawk moth Martini =Primrose moth

Height:   Female:  6-15 feet or 1.8m to 4.5m Male: 5-8 feet or 1.5m to 2.4m

Weight: Females: 200lbs to 1500 lbs or 90kg to 680kg Males: 100lbs to 260lbs or 45kg to 117kg

Life expectancy female: 72 Male: 25-30 Female Munaris keep endlessly growing; when they're 19-25, they tend to be 6-7 feet tall; when they're in their 30s-40s, they tend to be 8-9 feet tall. 10-11 for 40-50s.  After their 50s, they tend to grow very slow. Rarely do Munaris reach their 90s, but around that time they're 14-15 feet

Munaris start to go bald when they're around their late 50s to early 60s. They will lose all their setae

Life stage: Munaris lay their eggs in large green gloopy egg sack, it takes over 5 months to grow. They lay clutches of 30-60 eggs, and whoever hatches first. Will eat all their remaining eggs until they're the only one left.

Parents will calculate when their child is suppose to emerge from the cocoon. They will aid their children in the process to promote healthy wing growth. If a Munaris does not have a parent present, they have a huge chance of their wings developing wrong. They will forever be unable to fly Munaris with bad wings is not considered a disability because in current society. They really do not need their wings for day to day life.

Other Sexual dimorphism:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Male Munaris are built very similarly to females, except for flat chests, longer antennae, and longer snouts. They're smaller and weigh less than females.  Being details, Munaris males die after mating.

Relationships-nsfw

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Munaris have very strong familial bonds and intense motherly instincts. You mess with their eggs, their children. You will be punched.

Munaris go through heat-cycle that cause them really want to be parents, this done through genders. When a Munaris is finds herself a male, she will store his sperm it, and use it for later uses. One the reason why a male can father many kids, the female will choose how many kids she wants. Male Munari have spiked genitals that shed into female to prevent her from being ever mated again. They're way of getting those out. --- Most Munariswomen do not form bonds with Munaris men. When they wish to reproduce. They find no point in forming a meaningful bond with somebody who is going to die after mating.

because of that Marriage between male and female Munari is considered a cultural taboo. While marriage between two females is considered the cultural norm.  

Male and Male couples are a thing but it's normally a Ace relationship. Romance only relationship or even just platonic Same with Male and Female long-term couples. Female Munaris most commonly start relationships with another female munari, or another species. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
