I've never seen anything like that!!!!!!!!! That blew my mind! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Now that's cool. I'm not a fan of snakes and I automatically get that hair on end thing when I look at it even though I know it's not a snake.

Nature never ceases to wonder does it?

Yea , me either..

pretty cool huh?

That is utterly wonderful!

Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Mother Nature has the Brains, we are still trying to learn. Thank you for such a terrific fact. If that isn't a worthy means of defence, i dont know what is.

I have a strong dislike for snakes but i have to admit thats a cool moth larva ..Mother Nature does make some very neat things ..thanks for posting this ..peace,sugarcookie1

Now that's really cool looking.

Thanks for sharing.

you are most welcome!

Astonishing... You have to think just how many times over evolution the moth has had chance to notice the way things avoid snakes. I mean, just to even consider that, makes my mind loop. That is unmistakeably a snake head shape.

evolution really does paint a perfect picture..

my first thought was it was a hoax..

then i started to research it and it really is real..

cool huh?

Omg, it's so cute!

Wow, great week for seeing new creatures!

Giant snail, snake moth and don't forget the swimming alien in space.

I love how nature adapts and this really takes the cake! Thank you so much for sharing this. It really is awesome.

That snake-moth is amazing.

Here's something else amazing. If this isn't evidence of evolution I don't know what is. At 0:31 you will see a walking fish.




Here's a pic for those that can't view the clip:

Exactly, we dont realize how "aware" other animals/insects are. For example, we've had some fire ant problems around my house recently. After spraying, all the mounds made a collective decision, to move to my neighbors. I believe thats defined by what we humans call "rational thinking"

That is amazing! I showed it to my husband, he said it's a snake.

He didn't believe me that it's a moth until I showed him the rest of the pictures!

Thanks for the amazing thread!
