I just felt an inhuman touch on the top of my head. I lunged to one side, and looked back and saw a moth flying away. A moth settled on my head! in my own living room!

The Venezuelan poodle moth is a moth photographed in 2009 by Kyrgyzstani zoologist Dr. Arthur Anker in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela.

The name derives from a comparison of its physical appearance to a cross between a moth and a poodle. Dr. Anker took a total of 75 photos of the extraordinary species, yet only a few are available to view.
