Bugs Bunny?
It's not hard to confuse me. Really, it's no challenge at all, so most people don't even try - it just kinda happens organically, no pushing required.
That said, maybe some of you will be less confused by this than I am. Is mother nature fucking with me, or are these common and I just never noticed? That's entirely possible, as I spend a great deal of time with my head up my ass. Either way, this was on my door yesterday:
Moths? I've seen plenty of 'em, but never one with bunny ears. This one was perched about eye level on my door, gazing in at me as I was on my way out to feed the neighborhood cats.
Normally, I'm no fan of bugs (insects, flying creepy things, whatever the hell category a moth is filed under...I never said I was a goddamned scientist), but this one was just oddly fascinating to me, so I grabbed the camera. The thing just stared at me as I got the shots, neither flinching at the flash nor cowering in the face of technology.
No, this is not Photoshopped; if it were, don't you think I'd have added a carrot and buck teeth?
So I'm left to wonder: is this a freak of nature? Did a randy moth stick his proboscis in a bunny's hoo-hoo one drunken evening?
Help me out here, folks. First of all, tell me you see it, too. I'd hate to think people were right all those years ago about acid flashbacks.

Katy Barzedor proclaimed this to be so at 7:53 AM
22 of you felt the overwhelming need to say somethin':
disturbing! now I'm going to be thinking about this all day at work.
How cute! I want to find one and hug him and squeeeze him!
Have they been doing some nuclear ("nucular" for the elected official types) testing up there? Maybe it's a Mothra action figure or something.
Whatever it is, it is definitely fucked up. Not that I have room to talk, but I do anyway.
Chick - What kind of friend would I be if I didn't immediately share the disturbing shit I see?
Ms S&S - And call him "George" I presume?
Bone - Yeah, maybe it's the result of a new-kew-lur experiment gone horribly right.
I'll tell you what that is.
It's effin weird. That's what it is.
Lock your doors.
It's awfully cute. Makes me think I've just never looked carefully at a moth before. Maybe they're all cute like that.
It's a hodge podge of shit is what! WTF?! It's cute and scary and fascinating all at the same time. Total weirdness.
I do not know what that is. But I hope it flew away when you opened the door.
Male Gypsy moth?

You can send a picture to www.whatsthatbug.com and people might help you identify it!
I think shes right about it being a male gypsy moth, but you should send your pics to whatsthatbug.com because they dont have anything as stellar as the shot you got.
Also. close your curtains at night so it cant watch you, ya know...
Gross. Ugly. I hope you stepped on it.
He's somewhere between gross and cute. Does look like the pictures of the male gypsy moth.
Bucky -
It's obviously Stacy London's spy moth...

Just for our amusement, you really should give it buck teeth and a carrot.
Truthfully, I have never before looked that closely at on of those creatures. I hope to never again.
Whatever it is, it could probably kick Ghidrah the three-headed monster's ass.
*Still reeling from the fact there is a website called "whatsthatbug.com" *
we can't have this discussion without the lost Mothra song ya know.
OG considers soundtracking blog posts as a semi-official duty.
There's a martian bug out my way that I call a bunny wasp. It crawls, doesn't fly, but looks like a huge wasp with giant bunny ears. Cute as hell.
omg that thang is fucken ugly as hell but wow did you get a great picture of it !
Just found this as I was trying to find out what I'd seen last night. Apparently it's a Gypsy moth. Bit late now, sorry lol
