The largest moth on Earth, Attacus atlas, is a large moth that can be found with a wingspan of up to 24 centimeters. It is named after Atlas, a Titan from Greek mythology. Its body is small compared to its wings, and the upper surface of its wings is reddish brown with black, white, pink, and purple stripes. As adults, their mouths degenerate and they live on stockpiles of fat accumulated during the larval stage. Their lifespan is short, about two weeks.
