Framed Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas) – Real Specimen Display
Add one of the most spectacular insects on Earth to your collection with this professionally framed Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas).
This giant saturniid is among the largest moths in the world, with a wingspan that routinely reaches 25–30 cm (10–12 inches) and an enormous wing surface area. The broad, richly colored wings are a deep reddish-brown to chestnut, marked with intricate white lines, bold black borders, and distinctive triangular translucent “windows.” The outer tips of the forewings famously resemble the head of a snake in profile — a remarkable defensive mimicry that can startle potential predators. Females are larger and heavier, while males have broader, more feathery antennae.
Native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Asia (ranging from India through Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Indonesia), the Atlas Moth is a true icon of the insect world. Adults emerge without functional mouthparts and live only a few days, dedicating their brief lives solely to reproduction.
