==Adults== Trophid moths are famous for their long, furry mane. The mane of the adult trophid moths form a fluffy ring around their collar, as well as covering their back. These strands of fur seem to be quite hydrophobic and a hostile environment for fungus spores, which is important for the regions they thrive in. These moths uniquely have a tin tail at the end of their torso that leads to what is commonly called their "pom-pom", a piece of body that is also covered long fluff. Adult trophid moths, measured from the tip of the head to the end of the tail commonly range in size from 36cm to 50cm, but have sometimes been seen as large as 75cm. Their wing span is about 30% greater than that. They retain some of the gravity-defying properties of their caterpillar form, though much weaker. Because of this, they appear to fly very gracefully with minimal flapping.
