STOMP was not wrong in saying "the world largest Moth " there is no doubt about it !
Please refer to http://www.australianfauna.com/atlasmoth.php
Common: Atlas Moth
Origin: Indonesia
Scientific: Attacus atlas
The Atlas Moth is the largest moth in the World, however it does not take the title of longest wing span. The atlas moth has a wing-span of around 25 to 30 cms.



Does this explain ???

WKL father passed away in Indonesia and the moth Origin also from Indonesia .Does this explain why the moth drop by every year during
清明節 without fail !!

SINGAPORE : The recent impasse with Indonesia on granite supply has led to Singapore looking for alternative sources. An old quarry mine on Pulau Ubin will be re-opened soon, after almost a decade.
