Atlas Moth

[Commander]

Two more detailed shots of the Atlas Moth.

Note the feathery antennae. The male's antennae are even larger and more extensive.

The wingtip is supposed to resemble a snake's head to scare off would-be predators. Do you think it would scare off anything?

the last pix looks like the moth got pierced by the branch?

[Commander]

Ha ha... the power of visual illusion eh? That's the wings lah... look carefully at the colour and then compare it with the overall shot.
