    That's so cool, I was well aware of its adult form, but never saw its caterpillar before. Quite the transformation! Posted 10 years ago

The Atlas Moth

The Atlas moth is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago. Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, reaching over 25 cm. Females are appreciably larger and heavier.
