i saw it at my aunt house door step! it was as huge as hell. i live in singapore.

[gusphraba]

I don't understand what he says about the name (Atlas). "It gets its name from the ???? like patterns on his wings."

[KnowledgeClips]

The "map-like" patterns resemble an Atlas map.

[gusphraba]

Ah, thanks. Is it official, that this is the reason for the name?

[KnowledgeClips]

Yes

[Simonogvictoria]

@KnowledgeClips No. It is contested. Some say it is named 'Atlas' due to it's size - Atlas being the great Titan (not god) of Greek mythology

[sansan36]

@KnowledgeClips i thought of the greek god atlas and his large size lol

[MousseTauChocolate]

@KnowledgeClips no no the name Atlas is a reference to the greek titan Atlas

[marcdaniel1000]

@gusphraba atlas means!! huge or strong right?



[ezracc07]

it can be found here in the philippines

[RahatSHLX]

kill the moth!

[Tallos1]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW :O So big!!!

[f00tstep]

@Tallos1 Thats what she said.

[mikeyfatstrings]

so are you guys all moth experts?

[JuanLeTwnz]

12" is exaggerated and can only be applied to the white witch moth. Standard size of Atlas moths is about 8-10".

The biggest reported finding was something like 26cm.

[judomouse]

How did they get S.Hawkins do this???

[whykatera81]

[ClassClownOf09]

That will never happen atlas moths do not have mouth's , there life span is very short because of that.

[Kaz3rOth]

omg seriously?... no mouth? wow.... and pitiful in someway

[melpal83]

That was a beautiful moth, but i'm terrified of them...I really am. Last summer a huge ass moth flew over the top of my head. I could feel the wind from it. I almost passed out

[RabbidShroomz4478]

@melpal83 same! moths scare me so bad! i have been scared to death of them for as long as i remember.

[fluchter1996]

@melpal83  I'm not familiar with the Ass Moth
