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. Like some other moths Atlas moths do not eat their entire adult life. The cocoons of the Atlas Moths are used to make a durable silk called “Fagara Silk”

Fine art illustration of an Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.
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.
