First it's a moth. Second I'm a lepidopterist and I can tell all of you people to chill the hell out it's a myth that touching them is harmful. You could snap off two of their wings and they'd still be able to fly.
hey thx for sharing ! cool stuff there, but i would hope that in any possible way .. next time try to handle it more gently... still THX for sharing.. im learned a new thing Atlas Moth =D
omg ! u freekin just wrecked the biggest butterfly alive. u should be ashamed of urselves. why would u hold the wings. there wings have this special poder stuff on em and trhere very delicate, and now they will nver be able to fly!, that means no food....then that means .....theyll die!! :@
lol actually, the thing about butterflies and powder on their wings is a myth :O. the powder is important to them but they are able to fly again. the reason they dont fly very well after touching them is their wings are so delicate that the little veins and things holding their wings together, just snap. lol i work with the audubon nature institute in new orleans.
Yeah grab it by the face. I'm sure you'd enjoy that if that happened to you.

Dont touch the wings. They damage easily and make it harder for him to fly and attract a mate. Such a large specimen is surely rare.

That is not a butterfly, but a moth. The antennae on butterflies end in little clubs. Moths have feathery antennae.
I believe it's an Atlas moth
