I was pootling round on Google images and I found this bug...isn't it cute (warning insect picture)

Aww! It's like a cross between a flying kitten and a carebear

Aww he is so cute 💖

Gorgeous!

Aw he's lovely!

Gotta be a Pokemon, surely?!

It's like a cartoon insect!

Ooh, he's lovely. He looks like a real life Pokemon.

Oops Keepithidden beat me to it

He looks like he's about to start speaking

(Drama I feel like I'm stalking you)

What the heck is it?? Yes, very colourful & cute.

Jane I'll have to pop over to the tennis thread next, I bet you're on there too

Of course

If Mr Kipling made insects...

What it bred like that or is it naturally like that?

It looks like a battenburg!

Battenburg - YES!

it's a Bagpuss moth!

(It's actually called the Rosy Maple Moth.)

They're adorable! I love moths (except for the ones that eat clothes.)

The person who's holding him has very pronounced finger whorls!

Nature really is amazing!

Beautiful :-)
Allow me to introduce the Venezuelan Poodle Moth though!

Now THAT is a Pokemon!

Oh wow missteri, that looks like something out of the Neverending story!

What an amazing creature, it's beautiful.

My favourite is the hummingbird hawk moth. I was lucky enough to see one this summer.

Sweet!

I can't believe I just called a moth sweet.

And yet…
Sweet!

We have one of these all curled up now in the garden ready to unveil next year!
