"Sloth moths on the fur of a sloth. There are at least 17 of them in the picture! Note the greenish hairs, which correspond to algae growth. Author: Suzi: Eszterhas Source: slothconservation.org

Several #Pyralidae moths (Subfamily Chrysauginae) are know to inhabit three-toed sloth's fur! 🦥

However, moths are not the only #arthropod epibionts associated with this complex and odd "mobile ecosystems" ‼️ (paper, 2021) doi.org/10.1111/brv....

Pyralidae moth. I just found out, that some lepidoptera had ocelli, too. (The small black dot behind the compound eye) I didn’t know that 🤯 This is why i love macrophotography.
