Nero Press XI

Tämä nero lehdistön on erikoisempaa, ei sen vaikeus, mutta sen irtisanominen. Löysin sama juttu tapahtuu kahdessa eri lähteestä, eri kuvia – ja molemmat yhtä virheellinen! Voin kuvitella, että se ei kestänyt kauan, että joku huomauttaa, mitä vikaa näitä tarinoita (vihje, siellä on 2 asiat).

Tässä on ensimmäinen päässä Mirror.co.uk “Giant harvinainen koi löytyy Devon”.

Ja toinen pois Daily Mail Online ” Harvinainen Luna koi löytyy Devon…”

  • How do you find these things?!

    Okei, the North American luna moth is by no means endangered, but I’d say this is not the North American species, but rather the Indian moon moth (Actias selene) – a commercially available species that is commonly reared by enthusiasts.

    • Bingo! It’s not uncommon for one news source to print something and have it picked up elsewhereso when I usually find duplicates I ignore that fact. But this was was really odd because it was two separate articles with different material yet both equally wrong.

      The nice thing about this series is that I never have to worry about finding new material; the media will always disappoint.

      And you’re right, someone probably just reared this moth in the UK for fun. Their laws regulating things like that are not nearly as strict as they are here in the US, so it was probably the woman’s neighbor!
