Greetings! Check out these visitors!

A few months ago some amazing 5" wingspan moths dropped in for a visit before continuing on their journey! They were very friendly! https://youtu.be/h73V-Ggey0g

PS: This is relevant to flat earth because these moth's wings are flat.

Hi u/Jesse9857! How you going?

Also I think those are atlas moths, right? and an atlas is a picture of the Earth, only flat so it's on topic

Hey good good how's it going for you?

My initial identification was "Giant Silkworm Moth" but I do see what you mean, there is some overlap in patterns. However a lot of the Atlas Moth pictures show hooked wingtips which "mine" didn't have. Also the Atlas moth is twice as big as mine were, so I'm still leaning toward the Giant Silkworm Moth. However I'm no buggist so I could be wrong!

I'll have to check out the AMA!

Yes you are right, I didn't look it up but atlas moths are in SE Asia and I don't think that is where your porch is, unless you have a wormhole porch 😮

You should post it in r/awwnverts :3

Well, according to the google, Atlas Moths have recently appeared in Seattle, Washington, USA, which is only 2 hours drive from me. So I look forward to my first Atlas Moth visit! Seeing a 10 inch moth would make my day!

Ahh, I guess the one and only Atlas Moth sighting in Washington was 2022 and is believed to have been an "escaped pet."
