A man spotted a creature hanging from a curtain rod by his ceiling recently and was unable to identify it, saying it "looked like an alien."
It turns out the creature is acreatonotos gangis, a species of arctiine moth found in Southeast Asia and Australia. Those weird tentacles are actually the insect's four pulsing scent organs, which come out of its backside and emit pheromones when the moth is seeking a mate.
