The Unusual Wildlife Thread

Post by Bandung_Dero » January 31, 2020, 8:00 am

I took these photos yesterday in our laundry.

Last time had seen a butterfly larger than this was a Farang being yelled at by a hooker in Nana Plaza.

If you want to find out what this is you could ask on Thai Species Identification Help Facebook page.

"This group is to help ID species you have seen in Thailand, but also for us to collect the location info to update the range maps for each species at the ThaiNationalParks.com website."

They are giant atlas moths. They like santol fruit trees. A few years ago I took this photo of two mating as soon as they left the cacoon
