Legend has it that early naturalists who collected birds and bats by shooting them were unable to hit the target of the moth’s small body, therefore thinking of it as an "unkillable witch."
Many South American cultures believed these moths are a messenger to the underworld, carrying the souls of the dead on their large wings.
