I found this and thought of you. Most of you, anyways.
Moth, 200ft underground. Dead. Extremely so.

wow, i'd find that beautiful... if i didn't find moths so revolting.
Cool Find. Do you mind if I send a few ppl the pic? I've never seen anything quite like this.

it's very grotesque... i'm not saying that a dead moth is grotesque but the whole picture of what has happened to it.
the whole thing reminds me of the silence of the lambs...
Thanks for nightmares :)
eeeeh what happened to it? it looks either icey or moldy!!
Pardon the guess here, MG, but, from what you said in the original post, if the moth corpse was found 200 feet underground, would this mean that it had begun to fossilise by the time the photo was taken???Quote:

JT - sure you can.
Don - it's probably only a few months old - the white fur is fungal mold and the droplets are liquid, presumably condensation as the humidity in that cave is always close to 100%. It was stuck to the wall of a small side passage that I doubt anyone's been in for years.
MG: Thanks for the answer. Never hurts to learn something new, no matter how small, every day.Quote:
