The Black Witch moth - with the purple stripe - is the largest moth north of Mexico, often seen as harbingers of bad luck or death, but also of good luck in money. They also migrate some insanely large distances, crossing oceans, and easily flying across the Gulf of Mexico. Why do they do it? One theory is that establishing territory in far flung places will help a species survive climate change. Here, the Black Witch flies among orbs and rings, as if winging her way through space, searching to establish a new animal kingdom far away from an increasingly uninhabitable earth. Looks like she’s bringing friends too.
Is the search for other inhabitable planets a form of hiding? Instead of working together to solve the issues of climate change here on earth, we look for far flung and impractical solutions. On a smaller level, one might choose to move or change their hair in an attempt to reinvent themselves without doing the inner work, just another way of hiding from situations and identities we don't like instead of trying to fix them.
