brianreeder discovered 3 months ago- From the page: "Cannibals, dancers, and pheromone emittersâ€"some of the largest (and endangered) insects in the world are nurturing mothers in the wild, wearing poison as perfume, and crawling up human backs as friendly pets."

- LARGEST INSECTS ON PLANET EARTH. Found only in Southeast Asia, the Atlas Moth is the largest of the moth species with the largest wing surface area--close to sixty-five square inches--and a wingspan of up to a foot long. Named after wing patterns that resemble maps, the moth's wing tips resemble a snake's head in order to ward off predators. With no mouth, it feeds off fat reserves built up during their caterpillar stage. Females secrete a pheromone through a gland at the end of the abdomen that males can detect several miles downwind. Adults mate quickly, since a total lifespan of a female is only one to two weeks. Females lay their eggs, use up their fat reserves to feed themselves, and then quickly die.
