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: Wow, why do I not have vcgencmd?
gollark: I consider it "before" the Pi 3, and not real.
gollark: It also seems to be using a few % of the CPU at all times (or at least at all times when I have SSH to it going, which... uses Tailscale...), presumably since the Pi has no crypto acceleration due to bee.
gollark: Since it has things like a HTTP client, and userspace Wireguard-ing.
gollark: For all that tailscale fairly good it is probably not ideal on *really* resource-constrained systems.
