:o The emperor Atlas Moth. I think that is its official name.

Daww, nature can be so scary yet so adorable :3

@KonVeger. The correct name is Atlas Moth or Attacus Atlas. The Emperor Moth is smaller (40-50mm). Nature can be scary, but is is so beautiful. Seeing the world's biggest moth flying around around was amazing. The thin wings and the beautiful colours. We are just a very very small part of it. We should take more care of the nature and learn more from it. Nature does not have to learn from us. We have to learn from nature.
