Giant Moth Trusts Her Rescuer To Raise Her Babies | The Dodo Heroes

What makes this even more heart wrenching is the fact that, once they pop out of their sleeping bags, they have about a week to live.. they don't eat, they don't drink, they literally don't even have a _mouth._ Their one and only purpose in life is to mate.. so the fact that these little hungry noodles turned flying floofs got to experience such genuine warmth and kindness for such fleeting lives.. this was truly a touching video to me.

Animals are amazing creatures. Our love for animals is something that I think 99% of people have in common. No matter what your background is; whether you’re male or female; black, white, brown, yellow, red, or other; no matter what your religion you are or what your political views are; almost everyone loves animals & finds them to be miraculous creatures. We live in a seemingly ever increasingly polarized country (& world for that matter) & sometimes it can feel like we have nothing in common with people who have different political, cultural, or religious views than our own but one thing that kinda unites all of us & something that we can agree upon & use to help us relate to one another & realize that we aren’t necessarily as different as it may sometimes seem, is our shared love for animals. I think there are certain financial & political institutions that want us divided against each other because it’s very profitable for them & it gives them tremendous power over us & also distracts the public from their misdeeds & failures as public figures, policy makers, & public institutions. But I think people are waking up to the scam & realizing that it’s a small percentage of people who are really causing a lot of the problems & that most of us are just decent, hardworking, kind-hearted, intelligent, capable, individuals who just want a fair shake to provide for themselves & their families without being micro-managed or screwed over by a small group of strangers who think they should be the ones that tell the rest of humanity what to do. Anyway, I digress. Great video & God bless.

The following morning, I was up before most of the others. I started cleaning up the deck, and just as I stepped out there, a giant moth came and landed on my hand. She seemed cold, so I moved her to my shoulder, close to the opening in my hoodie. And she just sat there for hours while I cleaned, ate breakfast with the others, all the way until lunch. I had to go home, so I carefully moved her back to my hand and then onto the railing outside. She didn’t want to come off my hand at first! Moths have some real magic about them.

The effects of pesticides, new farming practices and climate change are some examples. The moth caterpillars also benefit the plants whose leaves they eat.

[@Fruitbasket422]

Still it depends on what type of moths they are! Some moths just eat every cloth they see even money....

That’s lovely. In my culture, these giant moths and giant butterflies are believed to be spirits of our loved ones who come and visit. As a child, I saw a huge one sit on the wall outside our house for hours and everyone came by to pay their respects.

Aw that's beautiful

[@ellastan9041]

Same! I'm from Hawaii, my dads side is Japanese and we never kill moths! It's always a sign our ancestors are watching over us

[@oliviapowers8280]

Hi. What is your "cultural" background. I'm only asking because I believe my Grandfather is visiting Me as a Butterfly!

[@louise9489]

Same here. One giant moth stayed in my late nan's rocking chair for hours! We said our hellos and tried to do our chores as quiet as possible lol

[@ellastan9041]

Hi! I'm ethnically English and Japanese, born and raised in Hawaii :) my dad always told me it's a grandmother or ancestor, and culturally growing up in my community it's common knowledge that if a moth comes to visit you it's a blessing and a good sign! It's a visit/Reminder your loved ones are watching over you and it's a direct visit from a loved one :)
