At first glance you would never suspect this adorably fluffy yellow moth to be anything more than that – an adorable fluffy yellow moth. HOWEVER, you are entirely incorrect at leaving it at that.

You must admit, that kind of blending in takes skills – possibly even super powers.
Will the Monkey Moth ever reveal its true identity? The world may never know.
