Atlas Moth

This is the recent craze in school now. Teachers...children... canteen aunties.. uncles... and of course.. even MOI am into it. Though I dun really fancy animals and insects but this thing really reminds me of God's creativity each time I look at it.

Can you believe it? This thingy is approx 8cm long and tell you if it is ever squashed, you'll probably have a cup of wheat grass juice look alike on the floor.. YIKEs. How would it taste like? kekke

I observed it for a couple of days and was so intrigued by its slow but orderly movements. The way they (oh there are 7 of them btw) systematically munch on the leaves was enough to make me watch it for minutes.

Look at those legs.... they are like magnets when they move. They GIAB together. Very cute.

I thought this stance quite SEI for a caterpillar. Gotcha!

This is the head though. Enjoying it's lunch on the nearly botak plant. They are eating so fast that the poor plant is really looking pathetic.
