Cimeliidae

Cimeliidae, the gold moths (formerly known as Axiidae[1]), is a family of moths that is now placed in the macroheteroceran superfamily Drepanoidea,[2] although previously placed in its own superfamily.[1] Its nearest relatives include the butterflies, Calliduloidea, Geometroidea, Bombycoidea, Mimallonoidea, Lasiocampoidea, and the Noctuoidea. Uniquely, they have a pair of pocket-like organs on the seventh abdominal spiracle of the adult moth[3] which are only possibly sound receptive organs.[4] They are quite large and brightly coloured moths that occur in southern Europe and feed on species of Euphorbia. Sometimes they are attracted to light. The family was first described by Pierre Chrétien in 1916.[3]

gollark: I think it would make more sense and be less complex if users actually had to send transactions to transfer money, instead of just letting things make them for them and hoping the things can be trusted.
gollark: That also seems bad.
gollark: Oh, and is there a reason for the system where to pay for things online with a credit card, you have to provide information which allows whoever you give it to to make arbitrary transactions (as long as nobody flags it as fraud or something?).
gollark: Presumably it's for authenticating the reader to the bank too.
gollark: You don't need to have the reader thing have a key for that, it could plausibly just use TLS or something.
