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

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

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