You guys remember when I mentioned there are poisonous moths here? Well, buckle in for a ride because their life cycle is funky and I wanna share why kids aren't encouraged to climb trees here, buckaroos
Taturanas
*slaps roof of taturana* this bad boi can fit so many venoms on it-ow ouch owie ow why did I slap it ow
Their venoms can be efficient enough to the point it can cause internal bleeding and even kidney failure, and, in fact, are even responsible for a few deaths a year here in Brazil! You think everything in Australia wants to kill you? Newsflash, EVERYTHING ANYWHERE CAN AND WILL KILL YOU IF YOU'RE NOT CAUTIOUS BRO, and this lil caterpillar is no exception!
Look at them, they think they're neat. And they're right, they sure are neat. This one's a Lonomia obliqua caterpillar.
But George, you may ask, these are caterpillars! Where do the moth status come from?
Well, first off, they're part of the Lepidoptera order, second
They turn into some real fluffy bastards sometimes. Mostly not, but sometimes they do. This one ain't fluffy, but it compensates by looking like a leaf - a poisonous, very dangerous leaf that can even cause blindness if it flaps their wings on your face and it happens to get in your eyes. A great experience if you ask me :)
Their natural predators are wasps and some species of flies because birds are big cowards who can get hurt from eating these, just like mammals. Bird-mammal solidarity.
Fun fact: there's a variety of it called Lonomia diabolus and it is as painful as it sounds. It doesn't look very diabolical, so, +10 for deception, that's really diabolical.
I know you wanna touch it. This one's a Podalia, often called... you guessed it, doggy caterpillar. We like dogs a lot as you can see. My favourite is the caramel colored mutt you can find anywhere, but that's besides the point; we're talking about moths here, and this one is no exception to what I said earlier: tooch it and pain commences. Plus, they look fluffy but their hairs are kinda hard, so, another 10 points for deception.
Don't be like the person in this picture. Do NOT hold them like a dog, they're not friendly and they WILL bite you without using their mouths for it. That is, if they even have mouths: most live around a week at most as a moth because they can't eat, so you get fat little fellas flying around being horny on main because they have to keep the species going.
They enjoy hanging around house gardens and fruit trees, so, if you see one, get something to hold it but do NOT touch it, it looks fluffy and it looks like a friend but it is NOT your friend and it will burn you if you touch it.
Lonomia and Podalia: not even once.
This was your public service announcement of "why young George was scared of moths and climbing trees". Subscrieb for more cringe about Brazilian bugs

Geroge those moths are DEELIGHTFUL i loved reading about the bugs that tormented you but also sorry that the bugs tormented you. I have been accidentally stung by some painful caterpillars in my time but none of them cause kidney failure or blindness so my heart goes out 2 you....
So many dude bugs just drop their entire mouths and digestive systems when they hit adulthood like that so that they can pork and die immediately and thats simultaneiously chad and pathetic. The ultimate himbos. My favorite version of this is bagworm moths because the males do that but then the females don't metamorphioze anchor themsleves wherever they are and jsut become giant baby fortresses
I love bugs that build entire protective cases out of random crap like that I love bagworms in general. Caddisflies too but if I talk abotu caddisflies in this post it will be insanately long So I will reserved them 4 another post. But basically bagworms cool. Here's a log cabin one
O.K. thats all bye

Today on more useless facts about moths because kid George was deathly afraid of them and thus developed a fixation with them: moths and their meaning!
Did you know that some places and some cultures here see moths as carriers of news? My mom got this one from her native/indigenous grandma and, oddly enough, it was always correct. My family has a long story with moths as you can guess; I guess being a beacon to them should've been a good thing, or at least very goth since you can be engulfed by a bunch of black ones, but science kid me didn't care about the spiritual and was actually just scared of getting sick from the poison of a few.
In my family, they see their messages depending on their coloring: if it's a rare albino moth, it means good news are coming; if it's a dark brown one, bumpy road ahead; if black, prepare for bad news. And the black one has this meaning for a precise reason: in mystical circles (and some native religions and cultures too!) here, it's a carrier of death, and it can either be one of your dearest ones who passed away visiting, or a message that someone will pass away. Why is that? They're called "witches", or, as the meaning suggests, "Death moths". I wish I was as cool as them to get such a cool nickname.
This one's an Ascalapha odorata, the black witch. Yes, even their name is a reference to the harvester of the Hades himself. No, this one is not poisonous.
Black metal wishes it was this moth.

Community verified I LOVE YOUR PET CRAYFSIH OH MY GOURTD....tell him I love him and would tdie for him please. Also george i love when you talk about moths i am really captivated by the history and significance they have for you.....that is truly beautful
I promised a caddisfly post the other day so I come bearing caddisflys. These babeys protect themselves by building protetive cases out of random debris they find lying around, very simialr to bagwrosm except instaed of wood and leaves it's out of tiny river rocks and pebbels (and other stuff too, but that's the most common ingredience since its what's easily available when youre a little guy living in a river). They need their cases ato be hard and protectinve but also flexible and lightwaeight so they can scoot around so they do this by taking many different tiny rocks and binding them all togehther with hoemmade sticky silk that they spit out o fhteir silk glands. THe silk is extremely strong and flexible to hold all therocks together and it's also watreproof to boot (because its in a river) which are all the traits that make an idael surgical tape, so ther has been research looking into the potetnial medical uses of caddisly silk as a mediacal adhesive (or a very close analogue anyways). Caddislfly larveae will also make a case out of whatever is lying in front o fit so some artists have taken advantage of this by placing it inf fromnt of the most sparkly gems and gold and pearsl youve ever seen
But we all know hte real artist was the bug
