I was wandering around the Singapore Botanic Gardens, looking around for pictures to take. The path came up to a t-intersection. I noticed a dead leaf on the bush in front of me out of the corner of my eye, but then I looked down and realize it was a gigantic moth, about 8 inches across. Got some good shots of it.

Thia is such a good close up of it, not sure what kind it is, but it's one you don't see often. tigs=^..^=

It is an Atlas moth, but over in Singapore they call it a Snake's Head moth because of the pattern on the top two corners.

Wow - that's a doozie Jeff - I think I'm glad I don't see these giants around here.
