Moths generally aren’t considered to be terrifying creatures – apart from when they’re being inflated that is.

One YouTube user, who goes by the name of Acleris Moth, has uploaded a bizarre and creepy video of a dead moth being pumped full of air.

The moth enthusiast said in the video description that air was blown into the chest of the Coremata moth.

At one point in the 22-second clip, a part of the moth’s body suddenly extends, swells up and then retracts back to its original shape.


Twitter users have speculated it is the moth’s penis.

Truly nightmarish…
