There are a lot of animals to love in the world… but insects are pretty low on most people’s lists. In fact, it’s said that 1 in 10 adults in the United States have entomophobia, a fear of insects. While this phobia is most certainly valid, it’s also understandable why the people who do love insects are so vocal about it. Because, sure, there are plenty of creepy crawlers, but there are also some pretty beautiful insects, too. There’s a good chance that you’ve never even heard of the ones I’ll be sharing today. That said, let’s get started with a more popular one: the rosy maple moth! While they can have cream or white wings, they also come in the prettiest pinks and yellows, too. See for yourself in the video below! @tyler__elise Rosy maple moth season!!! & another new friend ♬ original sound – tyler__elise “Bugs are way less horrifying when they have cute colors,” someone in the comments points out. Other commentors add, “Strawberry banana yogurt moth!!!” and “I’m sorry. But those are not moths. They are fairies!!” These Beautiful Insects Will Blow You Away With Their Beauty and Odd Lives These beautiful moths don’t stick around for long. On average, their lifespan is two to nine months. What’s even wilder is that, once they’re adults, they no longer spend any time eating. In fact, they don’t even have mouths! @nativeplanttok Seriously, how cool is this?? What a huge change in such a small amount of time! #nativehabitatproject #conservation #moths #lunamoth #nature ♬ original sound – Kyle Lybarger Like the rosy maple moth, the luna moth isn’t around for long. In fact, they’re adults for a mere 10 days, also giving them no reason to have a mouth. Spotting one can be rather rare, so it’s no wonder people like Kyle Lybarger feel so honored when given one of these rare chances. Lastly, let’s check out a beautiful insect that isn’t a moth. This little guy is the golden tortoise beetle, and it’s name is oh-so fitting. @jordantro Golden Tortoise Beetles #foryou #trending #wildlife #nature #insects #life ♬ Little Things – Adrián Berenguer Although these shiny bugs appear golden, they’re actually translucent. It’s the reflection of light that gives them their beautiful color! When stressed, however, that color may change to a dark red. While they may cause some disturbance in your garden, they’re largely harmless. Plus, they’re only 5-7 mm in length. Sure, some of us may never love insects. But particularly beautiful ones like these make it easier to remember that they’re simply misunderstood creatures who deserve some love, too!
