Atlas Moth

The Atlas Moth is the largest species of moth in the world. They are mostly found in tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. The wingspan of an adult Atlas moth can reach 12 inches, and its surface area is 62 square inches. One of the most exquisite moths in the entire world is this huge one. With purple, red, yellow, and black markings, their fore and hind wings have a particularly appealing rusty-brown color.


Strangely, the Atlas moth's wingtips, which have striking markings and patterns, resemble snakeheads. They employ it to protect against potential predators. Despite being the largest species of moth in the world, after hatching, Atlas moths don't eat since they lack a mouth.
