| This illustration is also available as stock art. | Artist's notes: The Atlas Moth was completed on 11/11/2009. While the shading and textures were difficult to render, this was a really fun subject to draw. The patterns of the larger moths have always fascinated me, which is one reason I really wanted to illustrate the Atlas Moth. The illustration is based on a photo by A.J. Havercamp.
| Information about the Atlas Moth:The Atlas Moth is is a large flying insect found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. They has the largest wing surface area of all moths - but not the longest wings - which are generally 10-12 inches. The females are larger than the males.
