Moth
Andrew Lin sent in this picture of a moth, this time not on his oregano, but on his thyme.
What is the deal with those jaw thingies on the front of its head? Those aren’t antennae! I assume they’re extra fiddly bits that insects seem to have stuck on, but I keep looking at it and thinking that this is when we first knew the moths were starting to become carnivorous….
On the plus side, however, it is clearly drinking nectar from the flower with its proboscis. We can only assume that it is going fweeeet while doing so.
Extra thanks to Andrew for supplying me with extra pictures for the backfill.
