At first glance youd be forgiven for thinking this peculiar creature was a flying lobster - but no need to pinch yourself just yet, its actually a moth! With its fluffy black tail and unusual markings the moths body bears an uncanny resemblance to that of a lobster. The unique creature known as a hummingbird moth, its black markings and colour appear to imitate the exoskeleton and scaly long bodies of the well-known shellfish. A doppelgnger for the king of crustaceans, the moths features have led many to compare it to a variation of lobster known as the Shiny Lobster.
