It's apparently also got the size for it:

The crazy thing about this is not just how evolution reverse-engineered what a snake looks like to a bird (or whatever preys on this moth), but also that some birds are born with an image burned into their brains labeled “avoid.” Snakes are such a problem to animals that may also prey on this moth, that a moth was able, over millions of years of evolution, to mimic that image through selective pressure. We’re not seeing here a moth mimicking a snake, we are seeing a moth’s wings resembling the image its prey holds in its brain of what it should identify as its own predator. An image that, itself, is held genetically and passed down from animal to animal, built by its own selective pressure. It’s amazing that this could produce such a clear image that’s immediately recognizable to us.

Evolution's fucking badass!

The process that made these images is very similar to the ones used by genAI in some ways.

Can someone explain the comment. What does "hot girl shit" even mean.

Moths are awesome, there's no "Alas" about them!

ngl it got me. It's confusing attack was highly effective.

There are also other species (eg. Archaeoattacus edwardsi), which show the snake pictured from a different angle. It's just fascinating!

I am down to respectfully admire any snake, but moths freak me tf out sorry

First step: Google it to make sure it's not generative AI.

Second step: allow oneself to be amazed.

Alas! Moths.

where is your god now?

Looks AI generated, LOL.
