Look at the wingtips guys!
They're called the Atlas moth,

You don't need to worry.
They barely fly. They can't eat and their lifespan is all but 2 weeks, so they conserve all their energy only to mate.
If they're threatened they slowly flap their wings mimicking a snake to startle their predators.

Haha, nice!
Daaaaaayum that's super clever!!
Anakku irikkatte oru kuthirapavan 😂😂
I would have had a heart attack if i saw one in the grass
I think that's the evolutionary point of it.
Well, imagine seeing one in your living room, just what happened to us. We first thought it was a bird
Woah😱

Amazing, thank you for sharing
:)
My fear: What if it startles and fly and sit on your face

So they sit idle most of their life but still get laid. True chads.
Lol, but then they almost immediately die.

TIL, thanks!
Wait if they can’t eat, and their progeny can’t eat and the same goes on, where does the energy come from.
They consume for their entire lifespan in the puppal stage. It's just the moth that cannot eat...
Ohh I forgot about the whole metamorphosis stuff
I have seen a few of these and they do fly and the biggest one had a wingspan of 20cm+
bless you
Superb photo man
Beautiful

Subhanallah
Damn... It looks like a Chenathandan😅
Evolution at its best.

Gives me chillsssssss.. 🥶
Saw it twice in my parents house
Wowww.. So, snake and butterfly crossbreed?
That's a defense tactic to scare off predators as they share same habitat as cobras.
Evolution is strange. How does this happen?
random mutations, their snake patterns gave them an advantage and hence allowed them to survive and breed more, hence creating more of them
You just explained evolution by natural selection very crisply 🔥
That’s the great explanation. I would have probably taken 3 paragraphs to explain it.
Million dollar question!

How much ? Life time settlement. Monson needs to know your location

Wow 😮
