Skelemoth??? No way!

That will be necessary for moths at certain point of modification, alongside better hearts and other things most likely.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah, that would definitely be the only good option.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Though not like we will have such giant moths anytime soon, right?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah…

Do you want me to make them? Because I can happily turn on creative mode.

Atlas moths have the biggest wing area, but what some people don’t know is that the white witch surpass them in wingspan

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

There is no creative mode in the real world.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

I know, that was a joke.

We’ve been talking about the largest moths, but what are the smallest ones?

[CatSquared]

Solenopsis daguerrei is a species of fire ant. It is the only species in the Genus Solenopsis that has no workers. Instead it, the queens infiltrate a related fire ant colony (such as Red Imported Fire Ants), by copying it’s pheromones.

It then latches onto the queen, eating it’s food and slowly killing it, whilst laying eggs, which are taken care of by the host ants. These eggs only hatch into queens and males, which mate and perpetuate the cycle.

The host queen eventually starved, killing the colony. Because of this, it is being considered as a method of lowering the population of invasive Red Imported Fire Ants.

Ants are well known for having developed multiple colony infiltration methods…

That would be Stigmella maya, as an answer to your smallest moth question.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well, unlike some other smallest critters this one isn’t parasitic…

[lady_deaths_head]

Such an incredible strategy. I hope we’ll be able to do stuff like this in thrive

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How complex will eusocial colonies get belongs to the devforce members to answer…

[lady_deaths_head]

If only one of them were here to answer our plights!

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

I am pretty sure everyone loves Mothra…And Gamera (the protector of children)!

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Everyone loves Mothra… But I bet a good chunk of people don’t even know what Gamera even is.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Gamera is the flying tortoise thing, correct?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Yes. And apparently he now looks similar to Gojira …

Since we are talking about Mothra, what about also Battra?
