Now at first glance, a Southern Flannel Moth looks like a really cute, furry fuzzball that you can just hold in your hand. But the reality of it is these Southern Flannel Moths are more deceiving than you think. The Southern Flannel Moth to some people may even resemble a fan favorite in the hit movie, Addams Family Cousin It because of how the fur on its body covers everything including its eyes.
