Mega Moth - _TNY_6483

The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is one of the larger species there is. It has a wingspan which can reach 24 cm / 9.5", but also, the body of it is really quite sizeable as can be seen in this shot from the side.

 

For a shot showing the entire dorsal side of those massive wings (on the very same specimen), please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52068556528/
