The pics thread

A guy I know alerted me to the existence of this place. Moreland Hotel in Brunswick, Melbourne. @Slammed can you explain what the fuck is going on here? It looks like something out of Disney World's World Showcase!

 

[Slammed]

No idea. Never even knew the place existed, mind you it is 3 1/2 hours from my place.
They make mention on their website about their "Roman Colosseum" I guess that's what picture is showing.
The bars look like normal bars (only cleaner) so I guess the whole Roman thing is to try and make themselves different to others.
My grandmother's family owned an entire block of Albion St just down the road back in the 1920's but that's about as much as i am connected to Brunswick these days.

so jealous of the moths on other continents, the selection is boring as shit here in comparison.

A Circle?? In the Triangle Factory?? / I Guess We Doin Circles Now

A Circle?? In the Triangle Factory?? and I Guess We Doin Circles Now refer to a webcomic about two different people working at a red triangle factory react

Dasypodia selenophora - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

seems like it, yours looks a bit darker than the WP image @CiG, but here:

Spoiler: They're actually amazing up close

If you take your original image and edit it, you can see the patterns a bit better and actually see that's what it is. Really cool.

 

[CiG]

Yeah that's them. There ended up being 3 inside my house lol.

 

[PrincessHades]

That's lucky, I love moths. We get luna moths here sometimes, I think they're one of my favorites.



Sadly not my pic but thery're so awesome

i'm sure i've talked about this previously but i run a moth trap every so often (non-lethal, released the next morning) and have a tally of species i've seen dating back to the late '00s. they're not doing too well these days though, our weather has been too insane the last few years. butterflies are fucked as well.

 

[CiG]

It's the same guy.

 

[PrincessHades]

That's so real.
