    Probably the biggest moth I've ever seen. Also beautiful colours

    It is the biggest species. Up to 30 cm wingspan.

    Edit: this was written when I thought this was an Atlas moth.

    I hate to be a jerk, but that's not an atlas moth. I'm my opinion, cecropia moths are much, much prettier than atlas moths. And this one is gorgeous!

    So beautiful and soft, it looks like embroidery!

    Oh! I looked, if you want to embroider a cecropia moth but aren't up for doing it freehand, there's patterns out there! You'd need to know the technique for getting the red part realistically furry.
