  Here are pictures of Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas) the largest moth in the world. Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm² ]. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25–30 cm (10–12 in). Females are appreciably larger and heavier. This moth is so big, it is often mistaken for a small bird when it is flying.  Atlas moths are predominantly tawny to maroon in color with roughly triangular, diaphanous "eyes" on both forewing and hind wing, bordered in black. The purpose of these dramatic, gossamer portals is not clear, but they are thought to play a role in predator avoidance.  The eggs of this moth require 8-14 days to hatch depending upon temperature. The Atlas Moth is found throughout the jungles of Southeast Asia, and particularly in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia.

The caterpillars are bluish green, with shades of pink on the posterior. The larvae are polyphagus, feeding on many different plants, and often wander from one plant to the other looking for food. Adult moths do not feed and so only live a short time.
