That I’m the missing piece actually gives me a ton of leverage. I mean, it would give me leverage, if I could just find a person who was sufficiently invested in completing their snout moth puzzle.
According to jigsaw-wiki, there are less than 15 different shapes of the pieces in most puzzles. How hard would it be to include a few extra blank pieces of each of these shapes? So what if they don’t match the rest of the picture being assembled? At least the puzzle could be completed.
Ditrysia is a clade (group of organisms with a common ancestry) containing most of the butterflies and moths. Ditrysian females have separate openings for mating and for laying eggs. (di=two, trysis=opening)
The Japanese denizen, Mothra, must be a ‘snout mouth’. Otherwise it would uncoil a long tongue to lasso against monsters like Godzilla.
(BTW, I’ve had amateur interest in butterflies and moths all my life, and didn’t ever stop to think that some moth species did not have tongues that coil out to siphon nectar. Actually, come to think of it, I see snout mouth moths far more frequently than the other type. It gives me a shiver of delight to learn something new that I overlooked so long. Thanks, Teresa.)

Or, worse, a snot mouth pizzle.

These puzzle should have a warning that some assembly is required.

It’s information and logic like yours, phritzg, that makes it all worthwhile for me.
