This is an absolutely beautiful moth!
I suddenly wish I could keep a couple of those as pets Too bad it would be pretty difficult...

Actually I learned from another dA artis that these particular moths can't eat in their new form, so they only have a lifespan of about 10 days

Sadly it is like that with most moths and butterflies Well I guess it would be possible to raise a caterpillar into a moth, then the time together would be a bit longer. I've kept some caterpillars like that when I was little, it was fun
