- A close up on the wing pattern of an Atlas Moth (Attacus Atlas), it was at the last stage of its life. Often seen in mangroves of Singapore where their foodplants can be found. The moth is one of the largest moth species in the world in terms of wing surface area and wingspan. The name “Atlas” seems to be due to the patterns on the wings that resemble a paper map.
