Jungle Daily - Giant Silk Moth ( Rothschildia triloba )
Just before sunset I found this large beautiful moth outside on my window. On investigation I find it is of the family Rothschildia triloba. I wish it had a more beautiful romantic name, I feel it deserves one. It is bigger than my hand!!
It is the first time I have seen one and I have to say I was completely blown away by it’s beauty!
Its underside is as strikingly beautiful as it’s topside. It has a plump raspberry coloured body with a white detail down its side like crochet and white legs.
These were taken using my Canon PowerShot SX60 HS
Namaste
Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect but because we put our heart into what we do.

I saw the post, thanks for the shout out. I would need more time to look into the company to have an idea of what I thought about them. Just on face value they look interesting though. Thanks for a thorough post of information
Thank you Sally ❤

beautiful butterfly ... the masterpiece of God's best for mankind. in my hometown called "Bambang Raja ", this means that the Kings butterfly. Not only the color is beautiful, but the size is also larger than other butterflies...
Thank you - that is a good name for them. They are the most beautiful incredible things and to see one for the first time made my day so special! 🌈💛🌴🦋❤️
It is beautiful and its yellow colors darkened and orange, they are so defenseless animals you have to take care of them and protect them, it's a beautiful picture!
Thanks yes I agree they are so precious and beautiful, I was awestruck in its presence 🌈💛🦋🌴❤️
Beautiful!! <3 , It would be nice to see a comparison of how big it is :) I have never seen anything like that :)
It was difficult to make a comparison as I had light in one hand and camera in the other and balanced high on a chair and the window frame was too narrow for anything to sit on. I was also scared of him flying away so had to just take as many photos as I could as quickly as possible. 🌈💛🦋🌴❤️
Oh, I see :) I can only imagine :D
Nice photography dear @sallybeth23 😉
Thank you very much 🌴💛🌈🦋❤️
