White Witch

Thysania agrippina is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Maria Sibylla Merian in her 1705 publication Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium, and Pieter Cramer provided the formal description of the species in 1776. The most commonly accepted English name is the White Witch. Other common names include the ghost moth, great grey witch, and great owlet moth.

The biggest wingspan of any moth in the world, and possibly the largest insect in the world, is one of the intriguing facts about this moth. This lepidopteran has a wing span of nine to twelve inches. Apart from that, it is one of the most attractive moths. Although it lacks color, the pale wings of this butterfly are covered in detailed dark and blackish brown squiggles, scribbles, and scalloped lines. Contrary to the moth, which has been well-known for almost 300 years, the white witch caterpillar is unknown. It is thought by biologists to eat legumes.
