Atlas Moth?
Hi there,
Nearly stepped on this gorgeous monster as I got out of my parked car. Stumbled onto your site when I was trying to id it. Thought you might like a picture. Also wanted to ask if you think the little pink things are eggs?

Hi Gen,
We have gotten photos of Atlas Moths in captivity before, but this is the first wild specimen to come our way. Your are correct in speculating that the pink things are eggs.
