EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the soft morning light filtering through a window in Bohol, Philippines, lies the majestic Atlas Moth - a nocturnal lepidopteran species renowned for its striking appearance and impressive size. In this image, a male Atlas Moth, identified by its distinctive feathery antennae, is gently cradled in a hand, offering a rare and intimate encounter with this elusive creature. The Atlas Moth, scientifically known as Attacus atlas, is a native of the Old World tropics, with a wingspan that can reach up to 30 cm (12 inches). These moths are primarily active during the night, utilizing their keen sense of smell to locate females through the use of pheromones. The male's feathery antennae, as seen in this photograph, are specially adapted for detecting these scent trails. Despite their nocturnal habits, the Atlas Moth's beauty is often admired by those fortunate enough to come across them. Their large, vibrant wings, adorned with intricate patterns and colors, have captivated people for centuries. This historical and culturally significant insect has been a subject of fascination in various cultures, particularly in Asia, where it is often depicted in art and mythology. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to appreciate the delicate balance and intricacy of nature. The Atlas Moth serves as a reminder of the wonders that await us in the world around us, if only we take the time to look closely and appreciate the beauty that lies hidden in the shadows.
