The adults emerge from their cocoons head-first, like human babies – at first they"re soaked in fluid, but as they clamber out, soon it"s clear that these are no ordinary moths. With enormous, cartoonish black eyes, thick, feathery antennae that flop down like the ears of a spaniel, and bodies covered in poodle-white fluff, they look more like Pokémon characters than real animals. Their modest wings, out of proportion with their large bodies, almost resemble the stuck-on kind children wear to parties.
