Is there not some debate as to whether this moth or Atticus atlas is the largest moth by wingspan? I’ve seen incredibly large specimens of both species. Though I say that, I have a special affection for the ‘witch moths’ and their intricate camouflage patterns. When I was 7 years old, I found a Black Witch moth on a tree in a cemetery across the street from my walk-up. I’ve also found some gorgeous Polyphemus moths in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, USA. I was under the impression that life cycles of most Lepidoptera were the same, allowing for variation between food sources, favoured locations for oviposition and pupation, etc.? I guess what I am asking is, we know their life cycle, more or less; is it their larval food sources we don’t know? LOVE your channel, mate. Rock on; I love all Lepidoptera, but I’m mad for moths. That is a gorgeous specimen.

@@BartCoppens I agree. That’s what I meant when I said we’ll probably continue finding specimens of each that one-up each other in wingspan up to almost 35cm. I WILL bet nearly anything that Atticus atlas is-on average-more massive, though, between their greater wing area and that chunky Saturniid body!
