have you ever heard a moth squeak? ✨ death's-head hawkmoths are equipped with the ability to create sound! but how? 🤔 their proboscis(straw-like tongue) evolved to be very thick - enabling them to suck up their traditional wild diet of honey with ease. through this adaptation, they were able to intake more air into their throat and create a little chirping noise by vibrating it back out. 🖤 - #moths #sciencefacts #animallove #entomology #deathsheadmoth #insect | Stoned Affection
