What does 아미 (蛾眉) literally mean?

 ANSWER: moth (蛾) eyebrows (眉)

My Korean-English dictionary defines 아미 (蛾眉) as "eyebrows of a beautiful woman," "arched eyebrows," and "shapely eyebrows," but the word literally means "moth (蛾) eyebrows (眉)" and implies eyebrows like the arched eyebrow-like feelers of a silkworm moth (누에나방).

Women all over the world would probably love to have beautiful eyebrows, but some Korean women, and men, want them so badly that they are willing pay for an eyebrow transplant. I have read in a Korean article HERE that it takes about 100 individual hairs to transplant just one eyebrow of a woman, and about 150 to transplant one of a man. That's a lot of work, so it is probably fairly expensive, but a Korean woman mentioned in the article had it done and claims that it was worth it. Unfortunately, there are no photos with the article, so you will just have to look at the photo of the silkworm moth below and use your imagination. By the way, I counted, and only about 50 individual hairs would be needed to replace one of the silk moth's eyebrows.
