Looking like a mix between a poodle, a bird, a gremlin, and a Pokémon character, this strange little creature is definitely a new one on us - and it's actually called a Poodle Moth.

The insect and its fluffily cotton wool coat lives in the forests of Venezuela, and was caught on camera by taxonomist Dr Arthur Anker, who posted the picture on Flickr.

Not much is known about the creature - apart from the fact it could be the cutest insect ever?
