Description


The giant Atlas Moth with a wingspan of 250mm (9.8 inches) was the inspiration for the Japanese film monster, Mothra. The Atlas Moth is found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and is common across the Malay archipelago. Females are appreciably larger than males. Atlas moth silk is known as fagara. It is secreted as broken strands and is brown and wool-like. In India, these moths are cultivated for their silk in a non-commercial capacity. It is thought to have greater durability, than that produced by the related Silkworm moth (Bombyx mori). Japan only has the A. a. ryukyuensis subspecies which is native to the Yaeyama Islands, and is said to be the inspiration for the movie monster Mothra. While Mothra was a very loose interpretation of the Atlas moth, expanding the head size, bluing the eyes and altering the hind wing patterns, I've chosen for my render to simply giant size the Atlas moth. While the Atlas Moth is huge, the Hercules Moth of Australia is even bigger, measuring up to 270 mm (10.6 inches). Rendered in Poser 2014gd without Postwork. Models: City Ruins and Urban Sprawl (Stonemason), M1 Abrams Tank (KuroKuma), Flink's sunsets (Flink), Smoke and Flames Tool (Nerd3d) and Moths of the World V2 (Ken Gilliland)

Thanks for a well made image and for the information about these huge moths. I hope they are not aggressive. I've got trouble enough meeting an ordinary size moth! Keep up the good work! :-)
