Moths with Funny Names 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лис 2024
- Even more moths with funny names! To clarify--yes, these are all real, legitimate common names for actual moths. How do they get away with it? It's incredibly silly, and I've been blown away by how many other people have found humor in the funny names bestowed upon these lil' bugs. If you know any moths, or just organisms in general, that you think have humorous names (or you just want to share some fun facts!) feel free to share in the comments! I've had a blast reading them.
My moth-adjacent knowledge is primarily limited to North American moth species, so let me know in the comments if your continent has any moth names that you find strange or endearing! I'm making sure to jot them all down for future installments.

At this point, I’m convinced that someone who’s naming these moths is a former developer of a Dark Souls game 💀
The whole Hebrew thing is because someone involved in the process of naming them thought that the markings on their wings looked like Hebrew characters
Lettuce shark is such a cute name. It makes me think of a moth chewing through a leaf of iceberg with much aggression and ferociousness
That’s such an adorable interpretation, I love it so much awww
setaceous hebrew character gotta be my favorite movie trope
the little begger would make an excellent sidekick
little beggar and bigger beggar
Moth Warriors, ready to fight for the light
This is the best one jet, but i am still not over "Retarded Dagger" from the first part.
"Retarded" means stunted growth in biology, so it probably just means "small" or "juvenile" compared to other daggers
He just like me fr
Imagine the moths at the moth convention:
“Hey so what name did the science hippies give you?”
“They called me a retarded dagger.”
“Man that’s rough.”
I swear, Gohan named that thing.💀
@@MrMagz-nw6py I dont think rice can speak
0:17 the build up and then the name suddenly appearing had me wheezing!
Subdued Quaker imolies the existence of a Uncontrolled Quaker
The last one sounds like something they'd name a xenoblade enemy.
part of what makes these videos so good is that they don't overstay their welcome, they cut off at the exact perfect time and they never try too hard to be funny. amazing series of videos, I love them all
Thank you! I’ve been having a ton of fun making them and learning about new moths-it makes me happy that other people enjoy this ridiculousness as much as I do
I died at “lettuce shark” 😂
“the little devil” i cant 😭😭💀
I still like moths
I still like moths
@@Roodile9 still likes moths
I still like moths
In time, you will _move_ like moths
We're really referring to Moths like Slugcats out here aren't we
Basically, yes
the setaceous hebrew character would go so hard as a slugcat
I think that I heard somewhere that Hebrew Moths are called that due to their patterns looking sometimes like letters of the Hebrew alphabet
these make my day, lol. i also love the bug fables ost! and we finally know who the once married underwing was married too 0:12
LETTUCE SHARK?
@@b1zarr3vel It was...LETTUCE SHARK?! *dun dun DUN*
@@hyliaphora-cecropiamoth soap opera
I just found the second one and I checked your channel and found a new one
this is better than the last two combined, huge fan of lettuce shark
I need to see the angel and the little devil in a boxing match
Biblically accurate angel moth
You should use the Radiance theme in the next one lmao
Exactly what I was thinking
Man, I need to play Hollow Knight. From the few songs I’ve heard, the soundtrack is full of bangers and the artstyle looks incredible
@@hyliaphora-cecropiaprepare for hell
Yes! Thank you for including the Pretzel! This was definitely the funniest one yet!
LITTLE BEGGER IS MY FAVORITE BUT THE CONFEDERATE IS STILL MY NUMBER ONE MOTH
If Vi was a moth, she would be The Beggar.
It just makes perfect sense from the name to the colors.
0:03 "Little Devil"
*Sayonara: Wild Hearts flashbacks*
ik theres funny ones ive heard of before but now that knowing them has a purpose i cant recall them, i will have to go in search of them again
I had a look through my iNaturalist moth observations:
_Eupithecia peckorum_ -- Peck’s Pug
_Xanthopastis regnatrix_ -- Spanish Moth
_Morrisonia confusa_ -- Confused Woodgrain Moth
Oooh, the Spanish moth is a cool looking one! Thanks!
(confused woodgrain moth lmao)
The entomologists who found them were on something
Fun fact: There’s a moth called the Frosted Phoenix and it was missing for a long time untill it was rediscovers this year!!!
Oh really? I didn’t know that! Great that it was rediscovered, epic name too!
Omg the rebirth symbolism
Nonconformist is so funny to me cause like, nonconformist how?? it just looks like a beige moth to me 😭
that's what you think...dont be fooled, that moth has toppled kingdoms
It's always the ones you'd least expect...

VAGABOND OF ETHEREAL FILTH
Im still waiting for those cool dragonfly names.
my favorite is the drinker!
I find it funny that somewhere out there names moth species by titles and honorifics that are fit for a noble or a warrior
My favorite series on youtube
Bro this needs more attention!!! 😭
Pretzel
The Drinkerrrrrrrr
Oh no, i hope the drinker gets better someday!
Loving these funky moth names still! The music synching feels especially on point in this one! Wonder what the entomologist that named "lettuce shark" was thinking tbh
Also, if I ever were given the opportunity to discover/name a moth, you could safely bet your life savings that I'd name it after Leif Bug Fables. Even if the moth is nothing actually like him, I would have the absolute need to immortalize literally the best character of all time into a real life moth name
YEAHHH LEIF BUG FABLES! It would be great if it were a geometer moth too
Im still waiting for The Other One to be in one of these- what better song for weird moth names than the theme of a weird moth
Oh yeah, that one’s definitely on the list. I need to amass some spectacularly funky names for it though-Zommoth deserves nothing but the foulest of moth names for their boss theme
@@hyliaphora-cecropiait should, be for the finale of the goofy goober moths
Congrats on 400!
Thank you!
GUYS LETS LET YOUR KEYBOARD MAKE MOTH NAMES
The dragon or something
The way they were going home
The same leg
The way it was
Put yours in the comments (not forcing
The movement of the night
The first one of the younger generations
The world of my life
The core and the 29th one
Btw I love "The same leg"
Why does the drinker actually look like it drinks
yeah, i'm not a biologist but i think that the drinker 0:17 is an alchoholic
0:00 radiance hollow knight
Lettuce shark is clearky a jab at the vegans
yayyyy i was waitingg!!
One of the best video formats I’ve seen in years, eating these up like crack.
Ya cool if I make one about funny sea creature names in this style?
Definitely do!! I'd be overjoyed to see people make these for other types of animals. May I recommend Neoclinus blanchardi and Spirobranchus giganteus if you need some ideas?
Send me a link when you're done! I want to see it lol
@@hyliaphora-cecropia Yay! Will do!
Also read my mind with the second one- worms are gonna be the stars of the video, ESPECIALLY polychaetes! I also work at a coral lab now, so I’ve got good ammo from that too! :)
@@Glory2Snowstar YESSS there's so much more to ocean life than just fish and whales, glad to see some detritovores getting love! (not dissing fish and whales, I just also like the more bizarre and alien things down there) Looking forward to it!
I also work at a water research lab (though a freshwater one)! What a coincidence!
But none of them have a tank :(
i mean... when you have 160.000 species in your order (wich despite being only a small slice of insecta, is double the ammount of species of vertebrates), you gotta get creative with the names
It's so amazing to me how specialized a lot of insects are... it makes me wonder what new ones are evolving even now around us
I know this is a teensy bit off topic, but I absolutely ADORE your pfp I love moths and the zelda franchise so seeing both in one made me a very happy person!!
Edit: Also just noticed there was some space themes in the background as well even better!!
Aww, thank you! I love video games nearly as much as I love moths, and my username here is a portmanteau of Hylian and my favorite saturniid, Hyalophora cecropia (the Cecropia moth)!
It might be kind of hard to see, but the spaceship in the background is the Hocotate Ship from Pikmin 2 (Pikmin has consumed my life)
I fear letuce shark
Are you lettuce?
@@deadlydingus1138 yes

nondescript dagger
interrupted dagger

My request: Moths with funny names 4
OST: Harvest Festival (Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling)
The Harvest Festival’s a good song! I’m thinking about using it in a future one of ‘moths with wholesome names’, but that’s just a thought for now
*Setaceous hebrew character*
I miss my girlfriend (the moth)
This isn’t an animal, but hiddenite is a fun crystal name! What’s funnier, in my language it’s written as hiddenit
Hahahaha that’s hilarious! Hiddenit’s great lmao, thanks for sharing
what the hell
What's with these names...

1800s lepidopterists were a different breed lol
