RED ATLAS order MOTH

ONLY ONE IN STOCK

Please see my other Atlas Moth listings

GORGEOUS Red Color Phase Atlas Moth female ( Attacus atlas rubiensis )These are quite uncommon in the insect hobby trade. The normal color Atlas Moths from Thailand are brown. I only have a few of these in stock. They come from Java and Timor in Indonesia. These are so hard to find in flawless condition.

Perfect specimens are RARELY ever seen in this species. A1- condition with EXTREMELY tiny imperfections will be the best overall you'll find on order these moths. The pictures are very accurate but DO NOT do these spectacular moths Justice. They are quite HUGE and striking.

Some insect enthusiasts are quite fond of the wing pattern on these moths. A snake head with an obvious eye ( some say cobra ) can be seen on the tips of the forewings. The highly venomous Equatorial Spitting Cobra is found throughout Malaysia and Indonesia where the Atlas Moth occurs. Has the moth developed this mimicry over time as a way to help protect itself from predators? It's a very plausible possibility.

I will be using an 10.5X8.5 inch double glass black border shadow box for these. I'm adding a data label with general information about this species. A sawtooth hanger is included.

I will ship by USPS PRIORITY INSURED MAIL. The cost of shipping handling and insurance is INCLUDED in the listing price.
