Altas Moth

On my way back home after exams, I spotted an amazing creature!
It was the Altas Moth.

It's wing colour just struck my eyes!

See those feather-like antenna? They are used to pick up scent up to 10kms away!

It just didn't camouflage too well, in fact, it's camouflage actually backfired!

It was huge!


The moths was not hurt in the process of photographing it

    Great shots and a great find! I haven't seen any atlas moths in years. Anyway, where do you stay in SG? The place looks really green... :-)

    Ah, no wonder. Bukit batok is full of trees! I used to go to the church there, beside Bukit Batok Nature park.
