Isn't it? And it's only the second-largest moth in the world, both in terms of wingspan and wing surface area.That's huge!

Yup. Its wingspan of 25–30 cm (9.8–11.8 in) is surpassed only by a moth known as the white witch (Thysania agrippina), while its wing surface area of 400 cm2 (62 in2) is only surpassed by the Hercules moth (Coscinocera hercules).
Those are certainly big...Yup. Its wingspan of 25–30 cm (9.8–11.8 in) is surpassed only by a moth known as the white witch (Thysania agrippina), while its wing surface area of 400 cm2 (62 in2) is only surpassed by the Hercules moth (Coscinocera hercules).
And kinda pretty too.Those are certainly big...
Pretty big...I met a pretty large moth a long time ago, right at my front door.
I like the color yellow so much that when I was biking as a small child once and saw a common brimstone, I couldn't take my eyes off it and wound up at the bottom of a ditch.My younger brothers are scared of moths for some reason.....
They'd faint if they'd ever see one such big as one of those ^.
I have two younger brothers, yes.I like the color yellow so much that when I was biking as a small child once and saw a common brimstone, I couldn't take my eyes off it and wound up at the bottom of a ditch.
Also, brothers? As in, plural? Are you the oldest sibling in a group of three?
Your family has five siblings?! Whoa. I only have one younger sister, so it's hard for me to imagine...I have two younger brothers, yes.
Also an older, and a sister who doesn't live with us any more.
My sister has a similar, although not as severe, thing with wasps, especially since she got stung by one as a child. It had snuck into her shoe and she didn't notice it until she tried to put the shoe on.I personally like moths, but whenever they fly into our house, my younger brothers go "Throw it outside" mode, and this usually holds up untill midnight.
Hey there, Natalie! It's been a short while since we did this, but would you like to see some more Gold and Silver beta sprites?My little sister's afraid of moths too.
Sure!Hey there, Natalie! It's been a short while since we did this, but would you like to see some more Gold and Silver beta sprites?
The moth you found, Megapod, kind of reminds me of a shiny Dustox.Spoiler
Awesome! Let's get to it, then!Sure!
