ATLAS MOTHS ARE MY FAV SPECIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok they have the biggest wingspan IN THE WORLD (by mass at least) and they have snake looking prints on the edge of their wings, so when a predator comes to them, they flail their wings around and boom!! Crisis averted! I actually have one of these bad bois in a frame too!!
