Weird. Those moths are only found in certain parts of South America, mainly Brazil.
They go for a hefty sum in China due to their strong Aphrodisiac qualities.
Theirs a reason you brought them into your kitchen. How many have you eaten?

LOL they come into the kitchen themselves, my area is bug country from October until March
Brazoolians will eat these, though
They're giant ants, they come around October
Back when Brazoo was really poor, lots of darkies would go around gathering them
They usually come out after a couple rainy days

Did you take that picture?
Are those the eyes that are visible? Or are there eyes up near/past the antenna? Is that a 2x2 piece of wood or a 4x4 or...?
So many questions...

I took the pic and it's a chair. Dunno about the eyes, but I'd say they're those black dots on the side close to the base of the antennas

Actually I took the pic at the same time I had had taken another pic I posted here before
The one with the dogs at the X-mas family reunion
My cousin's wife was sitting on the chair when the beetle landed there

It is a nice picture.
See how the thick white line going up the last section of the body before the head is not centred between the eye-like things (I wonder if they might be some kind of ear and the eyes are facing forward, past the antennas)? I think that must be the head past the white line and he is turning his head 10 degrees or so.
Anyways, cool picture. Cool insect.

In that third pic down you can see his head is centred with the thick white line on his body. Very colourful bug.

Yeah, it's the same here, only time you won't see too many are around winter, from may to august
IS this ant you're talking about?
This one is not very common in homes here, but I did have a small colony of them living on the orange tree in my backyard and I got stung by them a couple times, very painful, kinda like a wasp, the bump is small but it gets red around the bite and sore and it itches for a few days. So one time I brought another type of big black ants that don't bite and release them on the base of my orange tree. The bullet ants disappear and this ones don't bother me and they don't eat human food, they live off the stuff that grows on the trees. I have them in the farm's orchard, I don't have problems with bugs or other types of ants. They even kill the wasps that like to nest on the fruit trees, which are the real concern, you can get blind if one of them stings you in the eye.

i heard somewhere that bullet ants had the most painful sting of any insect and some SA tribes would have a ritual where boys werent considered men until they endured a glove full of bullet ants for a certain amount of time - not sure how long tho
u live in a zoologoists paradise lol

I'm not sure about the "any insect" part, we have some wasps here that are pretty fucked up, but they do inject a lot of venom and they're much bigger than those ants, so I could say that that ant's venom in the same amount could be worse

We have these fuckers too, they live mostly in small streams and wet areas
They're called "water cockroaches" here
My cousin got bitten a couple times, he likes to fish for traíras
Which also bite LOL
Australia gets all the fame, but we do have our share of nasty critters
