The Atlas moth is one of the largest lepidopterans, with a wingspan measuring up to 24 cm (9.4 in). As in most Lepidoptera, females are noticeably larger and heavier than males, while males have broader antennae. Both forewings have a prominent extension at the tip, with markings that resemble the head of a snake, a resemblance which is exaggerated by movements of the wings when the moth is confronted by potential predators.Their habitat is primarily dry tropical forests, secondary forests, and shrublands across South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, including Borneo.

An extraordinary framed pair of Coscinocera hercules—commonly known as the Hercules moth—showcasing the striking differences between male and female specimens. The male, smaller and darker, features long, slender tails on its wings, while the female is significantly larger and paler, making the sexual dimorphism in this species both dramatic and visually fascinating.

Endemic to New Guinea and northern Australia, the Hercules moth belongs to the Saturniidae family and is considered the largest moth in Australia and New Guinea. With a wingspan of up to 27 centimeters and a wing surface area of nearly 300 square centimeters, it holds the record for the largest documented wing area of any living insect.

The moths display a beautiful golden-brown and white coloration, highlighted by transparent “windows” on each wing. While the overall patterning remains relatively consistent between sexes, the shape and size differences provide a dynamic contrast.

This superb pair is meticulously mounted in a 60 x 60 cm black lacquered wood and glass frame, making it a stunning centerpiece for collectors and natural history enthusiasts alike.
