Madagascar moon moth
Madagascar moon moths or "comet" moths are native to Madagascar (clue's in the name!) and are one of the largest silk moths in the world with males reaching a wingspan of up to 20cm!
Though they are endangered in the wild due to habitat loss they are successfully bred in captivity around the world.
Have you ever seen one? I think with 20cm wings I'm going to steer clear of them but they are really pretty!
