i'm thinking about what moth species i'm going to base my doll off of at the moment, does anyone have any moth or butterfly-based dolls with cool designs? what species (if any) did you base the design off of?
I don't have any moth based dolls, but if I did I'd probably go with a lunar moth. They used to come around my home a lot when I was kid. They're so pretty too!
One of my dolls has a design based on a chinese moon moth (the male one) You can see his wings here a bit.
I had a Mothman but he wasn’t based on any specific moth. I’d recommend a Cecropia moth—I hatched one from the cocoon when I was little and it was an absolutely stunning moth.
i've been thinking about a rosy maple moth for a while! they're my favorite moth species after emperor gum moths! ooo! i love seeing different Actias species represented in people's dolls! i'm probably gonna go with something close to a cecropia moth to match my girl's color palette! maybe a Rothschildia lebeau (sorry there's no common name!) due to the pink powdery mottled look over the red & brown.
The elephant hawk moth is also a pretty brown with a bright pink if you like the pink/brown color palette
