A night visitor at Sg. Chilling, Kuala Kubu Baru. The Atlas Moth is considered the world largest moth with a wingspan that can attain a length of up to 12 inches. This one had a span of approximately 8-9 inches. Notice the wing tips resemble the head of a snake.
A close-up of its 'handsome' features. Wonder if its antennae could pick up TV channels?

what i would give to shoot an atlas moth, love the clos-up! (how was the tv reception?)
I hope it will not be an arm & a leg ;-)
Not sure about the reception. We didn't have a TV there. Private viewing for Mr. Atlas only perhaps?
