Whoever knitted that has some serious skills.

It's embroidered (not knitted) but yes, I agree. The pics of the other moths in the article are awesome too but don't show the scale as well as this pic.

Indeed. I almost jumped because of how realistic it looked upon first glance.

do you remember in the 80's young women wearing live beetles on a tiny chain pinned to their sweater?

I never heard of that! I feel bad for the little guys. I hope it wasn't a long-lived fad.

For a while I've wanted to embroider moths and butterflies but so many artists do it and I don't want to be "common". I do appreciate the other artists' work though.

you could do a cyber-punk space butterfly equipped with laser cannons. then we could put an AI brain in it and fly it off to defend the mexican border!

I could also make another one toting some Zyklon B and send it to Israel (maybe New York City first).

I guess you'll have to switch browsers.
