Sudden increase in sightings of huge moths?

The butterfly effect, first described by Lorenz at the December 1972 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., vividly illustrates the essential idea of chaos theory. In a 1963 paper for the New York Academy of Sciences, Lorenz had quoted an unnamed meteorologist's assertion that, if chaos theory were true, a single flap of a single seagull's wings would be enough to change the course of all future weather systems on the earth. By the time of the 1972 meeting, he had examined and refined that idea for his talk, "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?" The example of such a small system as a butterfly being responsible for creating such a large and distant system as a tornado in Texas illustrates the impossibility of making predictions for complex systems; despite the fact that these are determined by underlying conditions, precisely what those conditions are can never be sufficiently articulated to allow long-range predictions.
Although chaos is often thought to refer to randomness and lack of order, it is more accurate to think of it as an apparent randomness that results from complex systems and interactions among systems. According to James Gleick, author of Chaos : Making a New Science, chaos theory is "a revolution not of technology, like the laser revolution or the computer revolution, but a revolution of ideas. This revolution began with a set of ideas having to do with disorder in nature: from turbulence in fluids, to the erratic flows of epidemics, to the arrhythmic writhing of a human heart in the moments before death. It has continued with an even broader set of ideas that might be better classified under the rubric of complexity." -

oh u mean the black one ar?my school got some...it scared off the girls and made them screan...but really, whats there to be afraid ofOriginally posted by Nook][e:Anyone wants to report on their sightings on the huge ass moths that recently sprung up from thin air? Also, can anyone suggest explainations to their arrivals? Try not to give the "visiting" crap as a reason lar. -
there was one night i was going to close the wooden door of my hse when this giant moth flew right in before i close it. totally freak me out.den it landed beside my living room light.
my gf also had a similar moth parking at her night lamp and this lamp is just beside her bed.as usual,gals, and she couldn't go to sleep unless the creature go away.
i think these little creatures are attracted to light, liek those "flying ants"...
this fellas are big, about the size of our palms.if they have short life span,does this mean that they grow incredibly fast? -
Yep.That old wives tale.Originally posted by ne0matrix:Why no one says 'Your ancestors are here to visit you?'
Goodness, if I can return after death, a moth is something I do not wish to return as.

Moth always reminds me of the movie Mimicry where it disguise itself as a human on the outside but internally it is an insect. A cool movie with clever storyline. Wonder how their young will turn out if they mate with a human. A human mix with insect and viola what do we get ?

a 6-foot fly
