Taken on a recent visit to our tropical butterfly conservatory, we saw this very large and quite beautiful Atlas Attacus Moth which is usually found in Southeast Asia. Atlas Moth cocoons are used to make a durable silk known as "Fagara Silk". There were so many people viewing this beauty we had to wait our turn! Enjoy :~)
