This Scary Footage of a Mystery Insect Found in Australia is Freaking People Out


If you're anything like me, you get creeped out by things pretty easily. The likes of spiders, moths and other types of insects make my skin crawl, so when I heard about the moth-caterpillar-worm hybrid that has been found in Australia, I naturally felt something of a shiver down my spine.

Footage of the freaky, and quite frankly disgusting, insect has appeared online after it was uploaded onto Facebook by a man called Gandik. Since the video emerged on Thursday, it has been viewed more than 37 million times by people who are both intrigued and horrified by what they are seeing.

People have been lending plenty of guesses as to what the beast is, with one user saying it is a "rare Pokemon" and another one saying that it was "definitely a suicide spider moth demon". Obviously, the insect is neither of those things, and despite it being absolute terrifying and looking like nothing I've ever seen before, it does have an official name.

The insect is actually a Creatonotos gangis moth, and the tentacles that you can see coming off of its body are scent organs which emit pheromones in order for the moth to attract potential mates.
