Attacus atlas frame
This striking female Attacus atlas, one of the largest moths in the world, is beautifully presented in a black wood display frame. Native to the forests of Asia, the Atlas moth can reach an impressive wingspan of up to 24 cm (9.4 in), making it one of the largest lepidopterans on Earth.
This specimen originates from Thailand and showcases the female's broad, richly patterned wings in shades of chestnut, cream, and amber. The distinctive tips of the forewings resemble the head of a serpent—a remarkable natural adaptation thought to help deter predators.
