snakes - or moth?



Attacus atlas, an amazing moth that can disguise itself as snakes, is considered the largest moth in the world.

The moth's Cantonese name, 蛇头蛾, translates to “snake's head moth,” because the tips of its wings look similar to snakes' heads. When threatened, it drops to the ground and manipulates it wings, imitating snake head and neck movements to scare away predators.
