This beautiful Hercules moth has been on our wall for a few hours at one of the residents of Botanica Lifestyle Resort. It's the largest moth in the world and is endemic to New Guinea and
Northern Australia. Its wing span is around 27cm. They live for 10 to 14 days
during which time it does not eat because it has no mouth.
