If you’ve scrolled through social media recently, you may have encountered a striking image of a large, fuzzy moth flattened against a wall, complete with eerie eye-like markings and a warning about a painful sting. The posts typically identify it as the “Kamitetep moth,” sometimes labeled with the scientific name Tetrablemma kamitetep, and claim it inhabits a remote place called “Shaw Forest” or “Shaw Jungle.” The presentation feels convincing—just plausible enough to trigger curiosity and unease. Yet despite its viral popularity, the creature is not real. The Kamitetep moth is a carefully crafted digital fabrication, an example of speculative biology art designed to blur the line between imagination and reality.
