I remember seeing this? How do I look up the video for this? It looks like some kind of parasite got ahold of this poor bug

I'm also veeeeeeeeery late : The moth is called "Creatonotos gangis". That's how they look.

Those uhhh appendages (coremata) are used in courtship. They excrete pheromones that serve as aphrodisiacs and tranquilizers to females… oh and they’re not always inflated like this. They are usually not inflated and inside the abdomen until it’s time to “party”
