Moth Series 8-The Regal

This moth is what started the moth people.
My friend and I were hunting for butterfly caterpillars to show to her preschool students.  We weren't having much luck, but I did end up finding this amazing moth.  When I got close to him to take a picture, I noticed that his face looked almost human.  And then he turned his face to me!  I thought he looked like some kind of Egyptian god, with the body of one thing and the head of another, all done up in gold.

This moth person may not stand as tall as some of the bulkier ones, but holds his regal presence strongly, and earns the respect of others.

What are Moth People?
Moth People live quietly and peacefully in their aristocratic estates.  They rarely feed or move around, spending most of their time in meditation.  They have no arms with which to dabble in idle arts, instead taking up more refined pastimes such as admiring the chandeliers or watching the moon rise.  Walking around in their homes, you may feel chilled by the intense silence there and frightened by their odd figures and lack of expressions.  Fear not, they mean no harm.  They communicate with each other through pheromones, but can be coaxed to hold a conversation with another beast if the situation calls for it.
