The Poodle Moth - an internet craze

An unusual creature suddenly became an internet craze after a zoologist took a picture of it and posted it through Flickr.

The creature is called poodle moth and now a subject to a debate. A cryptozoologist named Dr. Karl Shuker said that it resembles to a muslin moth.

Is it indeed a member of Arctiidae, or are its taxonomic affinities elsewhere? Could it even be a species still undescribed by science? Thousands of new insects are discovered every year in the South American rain forests, so it would be by no means unusual if Art's Venezuelan poodle moth proved to be one, too.

Other experts believed that it belongs to Arctiidae which has 11,000 species around the world.

This moth has been a subject to internet editing.
