Hemiceratoides hieroglyphica

''Hemiceratoides hieroglyphica'' is a moth from Madagascar. It was discovered in 2006 that it frequents sleeping birds at night, and drinks their tears, using a specialized, harpoon-like proboscis.〔Hilgartner, R., M. Raoilison, W. Büttiker, D.C. Lees, and H.W. Krenn. 2007. Malagasy birds as hosts for eye-frequenting moths. ''Biology Letters'' 3: 117–120.〕 Tear-feeding moths outside of Madagascar (for example ''Mecistoptera griseifusa'' in the Hypeninae subfamily) are not directly related to this species, and have evolved dissimilar mechanisms for drinking, and they do not drink from birds, but from large animals like deer or crocodiles.
The adults have a wingspan of 52 mm〔Saalmüller, Max, 1892, ''Lepideptoren von Madagaskar" - Abhandlungen der Senckenbergischen Naturforschenden Gesellschaft, page 405; ref.724; fig.208〕
==Distribution==
This species is known from Nigeria, South Africa and Madagascar.〔(afromoths.net )〕
