The Lesser Priest moth, Which has a church Organ, though it could also be the cowboy moth with its mouth organ.

- You're a laugh a minute! At least the church organ would be "noteworthy" LOL

- I was in that Cowboys church and a streiker ran by the pianist and they caught him by the organ.

- Cripes, if you were watching the cricket the other day, there was an absolute cracker - a streaker ran onto the field in an Australian cricket match, and the Aussie batter, being understandably irritated by this, assisted in the apprehension of the streaker by shoulder-barging him, knocking him to the ground so hard he propably saw little naked birds flying around his head.

The Tiger Moth has two organs, the "tymbal" and the "tympanal" organs, located on the thorax. The tympanal perceives the sounds of bats and the tymbal sends out high pitched sounds that mimic the bat's own "radar" and confuses the bat, allowing the moth to avoid being snagged and eaten by the bat.

- And we think we are the "smart ones"....

- That is fascinating but much of nature is. If you want a hint, it has something to do with the "father" of evolutionary thought.

- Are we trying to "guess" the one YOU're thinking of? Because I have seen two so far (mine and Molecules) that are pretty darn noteworthy.

The Tiger moth has a special organ, but I can't think of what it's called. It helps the moth make a GROWLING sound! Just kidding, it actually creates a high pitched sound that humans cannot hear, but other animals can. I think. :)
Comments
- I hadn't heard of that! Keep trying.

- I think that's the only moth I am aware of with a special organ, but I will keep thinking on it. I don't want to cheat, and google it. It's just not as fun that way!!

From springerlink.com:
Extracts of the male brush-organs of the vine moth, Phalaenoides glycinae Lew., have been found to
contain 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenyl-2-phenylethanolacetate.
