One giant Emperor Moth in my living room!

You guess what, I spotted an Emperor Moth in my living room yesterday. I was so.....excited and surprised by its presence. This was not my first time seeing this giant moth, once I saw them in Cameron Highland Butterfly Park, I even had bought one for my science project and that moth is still at my secondary school science lab (my juniors said), before and after that, I had never see such BIG moth.

According to Encyclopedia of Butterflies, these Emperor Moths are found throughout the world. More than 1000 species are known. The one I spotted last night is Giant Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas imperator) stretches from India, Indonesia and Malaysia to China. They may have a wingspan of 32 cm (which is not exceeded by any other butterfly species). They have eye-spots and transparent windows in the wings to confuse predators and have a very distinctive marking resembling a snake's head on the end of their fore-wing.
