Homoeocera gigantea
Homoeocera gigantea is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Herbert Druce in 1884. It is found from Guatemala to Costa Rica, generally at high altitude in very humid biotopes. It is not presently known from Nicaragua, possibly because collecting at high altitude is difficult due to the topography of the country.[1]

gollark: I see. I don't think I bothered, mine just goes to normal DNS over HTTPS servers.
gollark: dnscrypt-proxy, don't know how anonymized it is.
gollark: Yes, I also have that.
gollark: Some osmarks.net services have basic auth despite having their own authentication mechanisms because it doesn't really cause any problems and I don't entirely trust said own authentication mechanisms.
gollark: I have TLS because it massively reduces the chances of highly important* data going to osmarks.net being intercepted, even though it doesn't obscure *everything* and has holes.
