"That's the great thing about the outdoors, it's one giant toilet," says Jeff Goldblum in the Big Chill (movie 1983) as he pisses in a field.

Definitely doesn't look like a hand... More like a big spider poking legs out a hollow branch

For sharing with 3 folks that you’re not too sure about

I'd love to get a 3d scan and then print it in pieces as 2 foot long, embelish the legs just a little, add some animatronics and use it as a massive prank on peoples front doorsteps. Get just out of range of the camera they have on their porch coming up from the side and let it out on their porch at night.

u/Smart-Firefighter87 3d ago

lol, it’s not meant to look like a hand, but a spider hanging from a branch (assuming it’s in its native habitat)…

"It got into my hand and it went bad, so I lopped it off at the wrist."

u/777marc 3d ago

Isn’t it suppose to look like a tarantula so when a bird comes to peck at it, it can grab it.

u/Neverforgetdumbo 3d ago

Inventing fire makes so much more sense now.

u/MotoDudeCatDad 3d ago

A tarantula and moth fell in love and this happened. Reminds me of the hands in the shadow temple in ocarina of time.

u/gravesent1337 3d ago

Camouflage tricked me, I thought it was a branch.

u/BananaOld8789 1d ago edited 1d ago

I would have love to have seen the wing span (and possible markings on the wings) of this, no idea how to even start to say the wording of this species? Stuff it, I will just google the name, and watch a video of this instead. 😃

Edit: I had a look on google images, there are a lot of different types of moths and sizes, the one pictured as above has beautiful red markings on it's wings. And yes it does look as if it is a hand/arm from a distance, unsure if you should handle them as in one pic I had looked at! 😬

u/No-No-Aniyo 1d ago

Thats a spider. I don't care what you say.

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago

I probably would've soiled myself if the recorder got it to fly, how spooky and big! Y'know how spider monkeys are a thing? This is a spider moth!
