Ypsolopha
Ypsolopha is a genus of moth of the Ypsolophidae family. It is the type genus of the Ypsolophidae family and comprises over 120 described species (about 95% of the known world diversity of the Ypsolophidae family).
Distribution
Most Ypsolopha species have been recorded from the Holarctic temperate region.
Description
Ypsolopha species are variable in shape and color and no exclusive superficial features have been established for the group. In contrast, the genitalia of both sexes are remarkably homogeneous.
Biology
Adults are nocturnal or rarely diurnal. Their resting postures are various, but they often have the head down and the lower body up. Ypsolopha acuminata mimics a small broken branch at rest. The larvae usually live in open webs on the leaves of various, primarily woody, plants and mostly feed on a limited range of host plants. They are active primarily at night and have two defensive behaviors that involve wiggling and jumping.

Absolve
by: One King DownTorn to shreds in agony
Your words pierced me
This is my therapy
You cannot imagine this pain within myself
I drown in shards, my soul is glass
A child shatters and falls to the ground
Just another number to sweep away and forget
I can never forget
I can't forget
You look into my eyes
You see my feelings have changed
My blood has run cold and I feel for you no longer
To me you would be as
The dead would be to me
Dead
Every breath drawn like my last
No savior can slavage my past
As you savior bleeds so do I
As a child you put your pain in me
Your selfishness has left me in ruins
Well, look at you now
This torture suffering
I can't keep it inside of me
Cause it's eating me alive
