Poodle Moth
It may look like it's just dropped in from Middle-Earth but this fluffy creature is actually a moth. With its bulging eyes and cotton wool-like coat the moth almost doesn't seem real.
When taxonomist Dr Arthur Anker posted his bizarre picture on Flickr other users were at first skeptical about whether the photograph was a fake.
The multi-legged insect is casually tagged a 'Poodle Moth' and there is not mention of a more scientific name.
But believe it or not the strange being really is a true native of Venezuela, where the scientist caught it on camera.
