I'm kinda obsessed with these two, I love the idea of these two ancient godly women who are pissed at their kin for imprisoning them, and want to use their powers to take over their respective kingdoms. I think its very charming. Oh and I gave gms eyes because I thought it looked cool (and hot), I really like her guys its baddd

They're doing fine~

⋆₊⟡ Hyalophora columbia ཐིཋྀ⊹˚₊‧

In the eastern part of their range, Columbia silk moth caterpillars hatch from tiny eggs, laid on hackmatack (aka tamarack, aka eastern larch) trees. This deciduous conifer, common in the northeast, is the primary food source for these caterpillars. After their cocooned over-winter transformation to a moth, they no longer eat or drink. They’ve only got a couple of weeks on the wing to find a mate, and lay eggs on another larch. Late may to early July is the best time of the year to spot one of these large moths, as well as their cousins, cecropia and luna moth. So double check the side of your house if you forget to turn off the outside light this week.
