Advice from The Sunset Moth

Native only to Madagascar, sunset moths, chrysiridia rhipheus, in their adult forms, are colorful day flying moths. The legend in Malagasy culture is that sunset moths are their reincarnated ancestors, and because of this, in Malagasy they are called either Adriandolo or Loloandriana meaning "noble spirit". To the founder, Adrienne, besides the wonderful coincidence that the Malagasy name has a similarity to her own, she chose this name for her wellness business because the sunset moth has much to teach us:

Just as many insects and animals do, sunset moths go through a metamorphosis to reach their mature form.

We will transition through many forms throughout our lifetime on our continued journey to physical, emotional, and spiritual maturity.

Sunset moths have many similarities to butterflies, and were once categorized as such, but later it became clear using taxonomy rules that they were in fact moths. Ultimately it doesn't matter how we choose to categorize them, sunset moths will continue living as they are regardless of their human label.

We sometimes have to challenge others', and our own, expectations and labels of ourselves to learn who we really are, and feel
peaceful about it.

Relying on each other is our best shot at weathering this
journey of existence.

As caterpillars, sunset moths eat the omphalea plant, which is poisonous to most other creatures, but instead of getting sick, they become poisonous themselves.

Consuming the right stuff based on our own needs (e.g.-what we eat, hear, see, and feel) can help us build resiliency.

Sunset moths warn other creatures with their bright colors that they are poisonous, and it doesn't end well for those who don't respect this warning.

For our own well-being, we need to effectively communicate our boundaries, and then demonstrate that we mean what we say.

Moths are attracted to flames, but can use their senses and agility to not actually go into the fire.

We too can develop our intuition and our capabilities so that when we become attracted to people, experiences, habits, or objects that could harm us, we know how to recognize the danger then swerve in time before we get burned...or burned out.
