The homeowner was left shocked after spotting a bizarre 'alien-like' winged creature crawling across his ceiling
In Bali, homeowner Hari Toae discovers an 'alien-like' creature scurrying across his ceiling. It had two wings and four tentacles of different lengths. The creature appeared to be moving upside down while gripping the ceiling. This bizarre creature caused bewilderment at this unusual sight within their homes.
Hari cannot identify the winged creature, but he describes it as 'looking like an alien'. He believed that the creature appeared to be seeking shelter due to the rainy weather that night, as if it were in search of a secure place to stay.
He said, 'I will let it stay in my house, but only for the night. I don't want it to scare my guests away.'
This creature belongs to the Arctiinae family of moths
According to the Daily Mail, there is a possibility that this creature belongs to the Arctiinae family of moths. Additionally, it bears certain resemblances to a species known as Creatonotos gangis, which is native to Southeast Asia and Australia.
The shared video displays a creature with wings and four tentacles serving as scent organs. These organs play a crucial role in producing pheromones, a chemical substance used to attract mates.
The strange creature went viral on social media
Then, the video was captured, and the creature was posted on Reddit, quickly going viral. Numerous users have commented, discussing the identity of the strange creature, while another suggested the possibility of spotting the awful creature.
One person said: It looks like an octopus that can both walk and fly.
A second wrote: It is a moth, and the things sticking out exude pheromones that attract mates. They are only about half an inch long and fit on the end of your fingertip. Those 'tentacles' fold away and only look long when they are inflated. I hope he didn't kill it.
A third commented: That is the stuff of nightmares. Imagine that in the corner of your bedroom ceiling.
Another added: Jesus, if that thing appeared in my house, I'd call the police, fire brigade, and coast guard. After I'd fainted!
