The Ailanthus Webworm Moth

This is the story of how me and Dave captured the coolest bug in the world.
After our social event Saturday, Dave discovered a rather immobile insect on his wall. Over the next couple of days, he discovered the bug would occasionally appear in different areas of the room, but would never be seen actually moving.
He later brought this bug to mine and Jordan’s attention. It was then that we discovered that this bug was pretty awesome, based on the markings on its back.
We captured the bug in a POM glass to study it in further detail.
We then discovered, after a long but silent conversation, that he had traveled all the way from coastal Africa in a girl’s hair.
Simply amazing. His diet is grass.
