Live Canvas - Atlas Moth
Description:
Found this beautiful Atlas moth while on a trek with a few friends. We were walking through the dry jungle when one of the friends spotted this beauty, perched at eye level, right in our path!!!We carefully approached it only to learn it didn't have the slightest care. It allowed us to get to touching distance. :-DThis was a beautiful specimen. It was at ease, gracefully closing and opening its wings every now and then.We took a few photographs each and few of us even posed with our face near it :-DAfter enjoying this beautiful sight for about 10 mins we went ahead with our trek, happy and content :-) More pictures here: thewesternghats.indiabiodiversity.org/observation/show/34...
