A Pokemon Face - _TNY_2116

There are more to the atlas moth (Attacus atlas) than just the size of its wingspan. I found this particular one today at the Haga Ocean Butterfly House and managed this portrait which I think show very well how incredibly cute faces they have.

 

Both males and females have this type of antennae, but this one if a guy judging by the size of them.

 

If you zoom in close, the individual facets of the compound eyes are actually showing in this capture - very happy with that.

 

Also, how about those furry legwarmers?

 

Not the exact same specimen, but here is another male shot a coupl of meters from this one a week before: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52779769278/
