What Are These Beasts?

By RedFox09,
posted 13 years ago Art Whore

I took these a while back at the butterfly exibit in the Fort Worth Botanical Garden, actually. I forget whether these are butterflies or moths. They look like moths to me. Either way, they're huge and beastly. I used Angel's hand for size comparison, and got a good shot of both the male and female. They must have been going through some stuff, because they stayed as far away from each other as possible.

Unlike some of the other butterfly couples I saw... Ew.

Anyway. Someone wanna tell me what the L these ferocious beasts are???

exept it don't have the little half moon mark on it's wing I'm not a moth specialist bot it's does look like a giant silk noctural moth, so i think it close to the Cecropia moth wich is the biggest moth in noth america

Hmm... I looked at some pics of those, I don't think that's what these are.

Actually, fairly certain it's an Atlas moth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacus_atlas

OOOOOOO they too are awesome ^-^ though if I had a choice between spiders and moths, I'd pick snakes

Snakes. I only had 1 spider. He hit puberty and died.

ahh, the best way to live. young enough to be ignorant and enjoy life and then leave the world when you become old enough to realise how awful it is.

or... something like that >_>;

either way, I'm sorry :c

are your snakes people-friendly? :o

I miss that little spider. I need to get a female this time, though. They get to live about... 6-8 times as long.

Very. It's hard to find a mean ball python in the first place, and mine are used to being held a lot.

^^ I got to hold a snake once. well, a few times. every time I did it would always slither into my coat sleeve and "hide". I was almost knocked into the floor by the amount of kyoot it exuded

I think the top photo is a female and the bottom photo is a male.

I don't know... The top one is almost eefinitely an atlas moth, but when I search for atlas moth images, I don't find any that look like the bottom one.
