Silly quote, doesn't make sense it's like saying the same with plants. It's nearly impossible to destroy every insect from the planet

Finally! There's education about how the White Witch Moth is the largest in the world. There is a dizzying amount of sources saying the Atlas moth is the largest.

@Joebrough5674 Yes, that is true, but generally, people mention wingspan instead of surface area. Depending on the metric, each one could be the largest in the world

Is so beautiful I love the colors 😍

Very nice and very big moth. Did you feed it fruit?

“Was dat human? You talk about me? I give you big face hugs!”

im gonna like all your videos for promotion

one of the iconic moth species on youtube

I love it!

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.

I'm pretty confident T. agrippina can outsize A. atlas in length, but to be honest, its kind of a pointless debate, the difference is not that great

@@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!

Wouldn't the Atlas Moth be the biggest compared to the White Witch Moth?

yea but no, because there are different ways to measure wingspan. Argema mittrei has the largest wingspan in length, the white which moth has the largest wingspan in width, and the females of Coscinocera hercules have the largest wingspan in surface area. I think atlas is just a general combination. either way all of them are large.
