The image going around the internet is by the discoverer and photographer Dr. Arthur Anker and can be found on his Flickr feed here. But I don't know the ins and outs of putting Flickr photos on Wikimedia Commons/Wikipedia. Someone more versed want to weigh in? TuckerResearch ( talk) 21:28, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

An IP user made an edit with the subject line: "This is a trash article on a potential hoax, check snopes. Article should be axed IMO."
Well, I did check Snopes.com, here is the article: " Venezuelan Poodle Moth." The article points out that some pictures making the rounds are of "the Bombyx mori, also known as the (China) silkworm moth." But then the article shows the actual picture of the "so-called Venezuelan poodle moth," which is the same one referenced in this article. Far from stating that the Venezuelan poodle moth itself is a hoax, it says some of the pictures purporting to be it are hoaxes. TuckerResearch ( talk) 21:49, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
User:Iqra Khalid Awan, to add to this article you have to have a source citation to a secondary source. Like a news article, a magazine article, an academic journal article, or a reputable scientific blog of some sort. You can't just use your word and a picture. If this picture is of a legitimate moth in Pakistan, it is likely not the same species as the Venezuelan poodle moth. (Can an lepidopterologist help with identification of this image?)

Venezuelan poodle moth image from Dr. Arthur Anker's Flickrfeed |
The moth in the picture seems to be a Bombyx Mori (also known as a common silk moth), and its the one that is often confused with Venezuelan poodle. The difference between the two is that the poodle is a wild variety of the domestic silkmoth (b. Mori), and lives in the wild, but b. Mori is an indtirely human reliant species. You would have to see the wing patterns to be sure, and possible the gender, but the most likely conclusion is that it is in fact a member of the bombyx family, however, with that singular image, I can’t actually tell which species, but we could assume it was what the user uploaded. Hope this helped!

Citation 1 at this point links to 'The Christian Post,' and this topic seems to be somewhat outside their expertise. Even the snopes article previously mentioned cites it. At time of writing, The Atlantic Wire is not available, leaving The Christian Post as the only source. It could be worth finding another source, or even contacting Dr. Anker himself about this. If he actually does have "a total of 75 photos of the species," it seems realistic that he'd be willing to publish one under CC that could be used in the article. Additionally, he may have even mentioned the species in a paper. This is my first ever Wikipedia edit, so apologies for any faux pas. 14:16, 23 September 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.67.176 ( talk)
It was an internet phenomenon, and it has seven citations. If you want to merge it to something else, okay. But, c'mon, Wiki is not paper. TuckerResearch ( talk) 13:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC) TuckerResearch ( talk) 13:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
