Moth of the day!!

The Tear-Drinking Moth does just that. Adults drink the tears of animals such as birds. In fact, the birds don’t even wake up while the moth projects its proboscis into the corners of their eyes. Even though it’s festooned with barbs and hooks. The tear-drinking Moth comes from Madagascar. It comes from the Calpini family, which includes blood-sucking and fruit-feeding noctuidae. The behavior is thought to be for acquiring salt and trace minerals that the moth needs. This could enhance its reproductive success!
