Look closely at either side of the upper wings andyou will see the silouette of 2 snakes.. of course to ward off predators.

Last day of the Fort Worth Botanical Garden Exotic "Butterflies inthe Garden" exhibit. We had about 8 Atlas moths, and we stacked these together asleep for a once in a lifetime view for the guests.
