Typically Comet moths aren't able to eat or drink, and die within just a few days, but Animal Kingdom's Comet is different.
On Venus Comet moths live full lives, but our Comet became trapped in a meteor when it swept through Venus' atmosphere and hurtled towards earth. Landing in a forest near a city, Comet ventured into the streets to find anything she could drink to stay alive in this new realm. 
Strangely she was drawn exclusively to strawberry soda, and she would fly into vending machines to steal sips. 
She has now settled into the forest, where she has assumed a motherly role to the animals there, diffusing tensions with her gentle manner and ensuring everyone is comfortable and happy. She's also the only one in the group who can read and understand human language from her experiences in the city, so this comes in handy whenever the animals need to venture into the urban unknown.

I'm a dumb teen boy
I eat sticks and rocks and mud
I dont care about the government
and I really need a hug
I feel stupid (stupid) ugly (ugly)
Pretend it doesnt bother me
I'm not very strong but
I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs

It's getting cold down here underneath the weather
I skipped class to sit with you
I really like your spotty sweater if
ladybugs are girls
How do you make kids together
What's it like in a female world
I bet it's just so much better

I just turned fourteen
and I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Don't mess with me I’m a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me cause I wont reply, I wanna make u cry
Ain't that how its s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs right?

I'm a dumb teen boy
All I wanna do is quit
My mum told me that she's worried
and I couldn't give a shit
I have friends who understand me
Their names are spider, beetle, bee
They don’t say much but
They have always listened to me

The other boys at school
think it's cool to hate your parents
But they’re lying all the time
The bugs advised that I should let 'em
and if you wanna cry
make sure that they never see it
or even better yet
block it out and never feel it

I just turned fourteen
and I think I know everything
Don't mess with me I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs right?

I just turned fourteen
and I think this year I'm gonna be mean 
(Just turned fourteen and I know everything)
Just turned fourteen
and I think this year I'm gonna be mean
(Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me)

Don't mess with me I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
Boys will be bugs right?
