Gianleomoth - Falls under the gender system: Gendermoth

A gender that is, or is related to, a giant leopard moth. However one wishes to define it, is up to the one who identifies with it.

[Complex and simple flags.]

[Image ID: A complex design of a flag that is horizontally flipped. From the top, there is semi-circles colored cream that has two outlines protruding downwards. The first outline is black and the second is teal. The semi-circles alongside the outlines lay atop a dark baby blue line where the last outline touches the inner edge of the line. Beneath the line is a small-medium stripe colored cream, a small stripe colored purplish-gray, and a medium stripe colored cream. On the inner part of the medium stripe are semi-circles that slowly creep toward the left and right upwards. The semi-circles are colored purplish-gray that have two outlines from down to up colored cream and purplish-gray. The second to middle stripe is colored black with teal semicircles that connect pointing upwards. The middle stripe is colored cream which then repeats the top half of the flag flipped horizontally.

Giant Leopard Moth

I am inexcusably behind on introducing y’all to one of my new babies. Please meet:

This fuzzy bab. It’s good advice to never touch fuzzy or furry caterpillars, because sometimes they sting. But, if you know, for sure, what a caterpillar is, and you know it doesn’t sting, then it’s fine. The older caterpillars of these moths are very easy to identify, and they are safe. The above photos are NOT of an older caterpillar, though! I wasn’t sure yet, so I let him hang out on my front porch.

Above photos from October 14, 2018

A few days later (October 17), I found the bab, but bigger, fuzzier, and orangier! Those thin orange rings between body segments will identify this black fuzzy caterpillar as a Leopard Moth! In my area, Giant Leopard Moths are the most common, so that’s what I have him identified as. At that point, I brought him inside. I mean, look at this face:

It had been a little while, so I went looking for him today, and I found him hibernating (?) in this dried up leaf!

You may be wondering what happens to all these caterpillars over the winter. How do they stay safe when it gets so cold? They will enter a state similar to hibernation called “diapause.” Essentially, they stop eating, they may change color or shape, and they find a safe place to be while they wait out the winter. Many moths and butterflies “overwinter” as a pupa. Moths have the added protection of their cocoons to stay safe. But some butterflies overwinter as a chrysalis, too! One of my favorite childhood memories was finding a Swallowtail butterfly chrysalis in the pile of branches my dad had pruned off our bushes, putting it into a container, and checking it one day in early spring to find the butterfly had emerged!

But! Many caterpillars stay in caterpillar form over the winter. They can stay camouflaged, but they can also respond to threats by periodically moving around. My Tawny Emperor babies will overwinter as younger caterpillars. And Leopard Moths also overwinter in caterpillar form! I’m not sure if my fuzzy baby is overwintering or getting ready to molt (I had caterpillars into November/December last year!). My guess is he’s about to molt, but it seemed like a good opportunity to talk about diapause!

I didn’t mention: some species will overwinter as adults! Question Mark and Comma butterflies are some examples. Their wings resemble dead fall leaves for a reason!

[cor-ardens-archive]

this baby was in my apartment. i believe it's a giant leopard moth 🖤🤍

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

ok so this came to me one evening but imagine. Kaeya is a descendant of khaenria and im going off the theory that it is the abyss one day he gets hit with an abyss mages magic and because of his ties to the abyss he transforms into something similar to childe only smaller. Kaey's in incredible pain, can't move, he's whimpering and chirping in disstress.

Childe is just wandering around and he hears the pained sounds. He folows the sound and sees this dark blue creature. Childe begins purring and rumbling to try and calm it down.

Once monster kaeya sees foul legacy he freaks out because while kaeya is large childe is much bigger. After seeing this fucken giant kaeya begins crying out of fear and the noises upset childe.

In his moth brain he comes up with a solution. Bring the creature to you! :) You always make thing better and you'll help this small one too. Childe picks kaeya up by the scruff with his theeth while kaeya is freaking the hell out and carries him out.

You were in your garden doin whatever when you hear something coming. Knowing it's childe you turn around and see him holding some kind of creature with his theeth. You tell him to put that down and come over to inspect the smaller creature.

Kaeya recognizes you and starts whining and crying because he won't be able to go home like this. After some time you notice some features (idk make smth up) and find out that it's kaeya.

Now you have two abyss monsters :D

In the begining kaeya constantly hides and doesn't want to go outside. Childe is always trying to get kaeya to come with him or just lay in the sun toghether. Eventualy childe manages to get kaeya to cuddle with him in front of a window. You come home find both of them curled up toghether, purring and warm. And everyone is happy :D

Then childe pulls you into the cuddlepile and you are smushed between them.

idk what this is but the idea of monster kaeya does things to me. And what's better that having one abyss baby? two of course!

I'd imagine abyss monster kaeya as something like a snow leopard but more monstery and maybe with wings.

ok i know this is a moth Childe blog but

Kaeya

hnnn

you have very good taste anon, i genuinely love this omg

i'm side-eyeing one of my mutuals rn like "you write this? this yours?" and i'm gonna take a leaf out of his book and put in ANGST AHAHHA

you say what's better than one abyss monster: two, right? wellllll in some ways YES, it's very fun to have both Kaeya and Childe with you- you get more snuggles, they're both very affectionate, they can keep each other company while you're gone, stuff like that

but it's also more tiring. like, SERIOUSLY more tiring. now you have another human-turned-abyss-monster to take care of, and while you certainly don't mind, having both Kaeya and Childe in the house at the same time PLUS your normal work can be extremely draining- i'd expect you to have at least one really bad mental breakdown from how much you're working

even BETTER is if you don't trust Kaeya. maybe you're just sus (hehe mongus) of him since the beginning or you dislike his flowery words and flirtatious nature- either way you're recoiling when you realize this new abyss monster is him and he's whining in grief because he wants your warm comfort, and Childe is chirping worriedly as he sees you hesitate. your heart is screaming at you to help, but your cynicism and distrust is urging you to run- what if it's a trap or a trick of some sort?

*taps table* i want more of this give me more of this hehe please please <33

*Annoying-Ass Sand Pipers (aka Killdeer... It depends on where you live for what they call that fucker. I've lived everywhere, but I call it a Sand Piper.) I always scream at it, LMAO! I don't care how crazy I look!

These are my first butterflies, and the first one changr was on my birthday, she emerged first and is already eating. I've never raised a Giant Leopard Moth before, but I've kept lots of moths, I love them so much. She was a gift from @khamubro as a cute, hairy caterpillar. Well look at her now! 🤩😭💜 #Lepidoptera #nymphalidae #vanessacardui #hypercompe #Hypercompescribonia #paintedladybutterfly #paintedladies #giantleopardmoth #mothsandbutterflies #butterfly #butterflies #moth #emerging #insects #chrysalis #pupa #bugkeeping #metamorphosis #buggirl #entomology #hobby #theygrowupsofast #PixielandFarm #erebidae #insectsofinstagram #southcarolinainsects #whitemoth #orangebutterfly #leopardprint #animals (at Pixieland Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/COCXndun_gJ/?igshid=19ntftldc814z

Leopardoria

A city in future India... it’s mascot Metal Leopard, adorns the multi levels of skyscrapers and cyber park statues. Crystal leopard fangs tip every rooftop to stop the giant insect invaders, should they ever return.

A small park on skyscraper level 23 has a shaft of light that reaches down and illuminates a small leopard icon fixed into an ancient concrete wall. A crystal face with snarling whiskers and flashing ruby eyes. There’s a lot of water in the old cyber park drained down from the endless showering surfaces above. Clean alpine water of the lightest sapphire hue. It pools in the white marble pathways and raised areas. There is also a pond, no sign of a fountain.

Not many people visit this old relic of a park. A woman visits every week to feed the moths. Giant flecked moths. A woman who always says hello to the crystal leopard. And sometimes on an evening when the light hits just right, the crystal leopard head refracts pieces of iridescent rainbows all around the park.

A woman sits on one of the ancient benches made out of some old wonder material that never corrodes or fades. A woman sits with a future ipencil drawing luminous 3d shapes in the air; they hover and she rotates them changing the colours, drawing on holographic googly eyes, sets them to gliding and rotating around the park. A glittering Michelangelo’s David escapes from the tip of the ipencil and sits next to A woman. It can be hard to find solitude in a 30 mile high city of multi levelled skyscrapers... though really, you just have to know where to look... follow the giant moths.

Internet Zombies

The zombies had eaten everyone.

A driverless van stopped outside a house. It’s contents of fresh food brought to the back door and placed inside after the auto lock opened up the house… it was getting tight in the kitchen, for boxes. All the well to do houses had lots of boxes.

A window cleaning contraption un-clicked from it’s recharging housing on the side of the building. It happily washed the windows again. A zombie got excited about the movement of the contraption but soon lost interest… no flesh for a hungry zombie.

The cows were happy. The contraptions kept bringing them food and they were let out everyday to eat the fresh grass. Scratching posts contraptions kept their coats neat and their bodies relaxed. No one came to the slaughter house; those contraptions hadn’t been turned on for quite a while. A computer monitored the cow behaviour and adjusted as needed. As the farms filled up with the cow babies, mothers would be allowed onto the fields to raise as they pleased.

Buses of zombies did the commute, buses of zombies went to the coast; though they were dead the zombies realised it was quicker to use the automated bus services on their endless journey looking for brains.

A robot opened a door and let a few zombies into the automated Patisserie, they didn’t seem interested in the freshly baked good, but they came every morning the smell perhaps seemed like life or perhaps croissants smell like brains a little.

The street cleaner contraptions kept the roads running smoothly for the driverless cars on their way. The hopeful faces of the zombies checked for drivers. Nothing.

A jet flew over with only the usual junk mail onboard, the halls of the houses around the world filled up with useless paper.

A robot tapped the code to get into a secure room in a power station. The solar panels were all working efficiently still.

A gleaming high tech factory… raw materials in one end new solar panels out the other, loaded onto delivery trucks.

A sewing machine runs through it’s programming for the delicate detailing on some net curtains. The boxes of new net curtains were piling up… an efficiency droid was having to do some serious reorganising.

Trees have started sprouting in the gardens and in the in-between grassy patches.

A dog steals a pastry.

RATS

Rodent Augmented Terrestrials.

The Rat wanted to be a witch, she had a little sparkly black hat. The hotel was fun since the humans had left. A skeleton crew of maintenance contraptions all that was left to watch over the long corridors and bright spaces. Someone had forgotten to set the traps for the rats.

Auntie Ratty had knitted the Rat’s hat. Strands of glitter ran through the wool they had found in the back of some lost storage space. Robot rats are quite handy with wool and string, paperclips and buttons. They had found a jar of iridescent pearly buttons in the storage place. A tiny black one, with flecks of rainbow, was sown onto the Rats hat.

Who had created the crafting metal rodents they didn’t know. The rats found all kinds of scraps and odd ends. The hotel rooms were covered with little paper houses, knitted helter skelters and cardboard assault courses. Real rats had started living in some of the paper architecture, taking daily exercise in the ratty theme parks. The robot rats opened food for the real rats in the kitchens. Filled the sinks with water for bathing and refreshment.

A military droid… Power Reconnaissance Inspector Noncombatant Casualty Enabler. Was searching the halls of the abandoned hotel. The Rat saw its shiny exoskeleton and was impressed. She climbed up its legs torso and neck and snuggled it’s ‘cheek’… I don’t know what robot magic or quantum fairy caused what happened but the Rat started growing and glitching, rainbows streamed from her metal joints. Her red eyes threw sparks of lightning into the air as her rodent back straightened and she stood up, long limbs laser energised from her rodent claws. She stood fully humanoid with giant sparkling woolen hat, black sparkly woolen cape. Metal humanoid hands caught the light as she stretched them out in her gaze. A full robot witch with rocket broomstick and potion gadget belt. The military droids ocular sensors fizzed with new programming. It broke off it’s arm cannon, threw it to the floor. A knitting needle wand sprouted another sparkly woolen hat. Two robot witches flew with fireworks exploding out of the back of their rocket broomstick. Creating calamity in a moon lit night and off into a mountainous distance, snow avalanches following.

Nanobot and germ

The nanobot spied the little germ, usually nanobots left the immune system to work on it’s own. But the occasional nasty invader could be disposed of. The nano bots multi micro pincers picked up the germ. LIGHTNING STRUCK the woman, all the nanobots in her body froze and slowly came back online. An urgent repair meant busy nanobots. Our nanobot was still frozen it’s micro eye sensors locked on the germ. Nanobot’s pincers brought germ closer. Some entanglement had occurred between them, now nanobot had to save germ. But where would be safe. Nanobot took germ all around the woman’s body. Nothing seemed safe from the immune system and the other nanobots. A journey would be needed, outside the body. Nanobot reached some skin opening and looked across the vast expanse of the outside world. It leaped floating among the dust particles and pollen. Nanobot and germ floated along a bright day. Around others heads, white walls and sterile equipment. Where could nanobot take germ in the hazardous place of soap and alcohol gels. They drifted around white corridors and down a black elevator shaft.. Nanobots little thrusters launched them toward an exit and out into a fresh crisp spring. Nano was worried about germ in this cooler environment. It searched the internet for ideal conditions for a germ. Warm and humid seemed to be the ideal. Nanobot passed a gargantuan ear, a humongous coughing mouth projected them back towards their exit. Nanobot’s micro thrusters saw them back on their journey and through a giant closing door. A warm place, a clean place, too clean. Nanobot dare not rest on any surface so they hung there on a new journey. Nanobot rested on a floating piece of skin cell and let germ have a snack of it. Sirens meant a rushing. The vast doors opened blowing nanobot and germ around the cavern. A flat line sounded, a giant moved back and forth but the flatline kept pouncing. Nanobot rested on a dead hair folicle. Nanobot stayed there for days an eye sensor on germ who was having a great time of it. Strange organic music and darkness. Nanobot waited. Nanobot said good bye to Germ who didn’t even notice. A long journey through deep soil and then a crisp spring landscape. Sunshine.
