What on earth is THAT? Man is baffled to find a bizarre ‘alien-like’ winged creature crawling across his ceiling in Indonesia
- Hari Toae noticed the creature scurrying across the ceiling of his home in Bali
- The creature had wings, four tentacles and appeared to be moving upside down
- Hari suggested it might have been looking for a place to shelter from the rain
This bizarre creature caused bafflement at a home in Indonesia after it was seen crawling across the ceiling.
Homeowner Hari Toae noticed the ‘alien-like’ being scurrying across the ceiling in Bali last month.
It had two wings, four tentacles of varying lengths and appeared as though it was moving upside down with its legs holding on to the ceiling.
Hari said the creature seemed to be looking for a safe place to stay because it had been rainy that night.

He said: ‘I will let it stay in my house, but only for the night. I don’t want it to scare my guests away.’
Hari said he had been unable to identify the winged critter but joked that it ‘looked like an alien’.
He added: ‘It’s not something I’ve ever seen before. I don’t think it comes from this neighbourhood.’
The answer remains unclear, but it could be part of a family of moths called the Arctiinae.

It appeared to share certain characteristics with a species called Creatonotos gangis, which is native to south-east Asia and Australia.
Like the mysterious creature, they have wings and four tentacles known as scent organs.
They are used to used to produce pheromones, a type of chemical substance, in a bid to attract mates.
Footage of a similarly creepy creature emerged in Australia in 2017, and again appeared to be a Creatonotos gangis moth.
