The interesting thing about Atlas Butterfly's self-defense mechanism is that when they are in danger, they sow themselves to the ground and spread their big wings. This is no different from a snake carrying a head and neck when preparing to catch prey. As a result, Atlas's butterfly enemies often give up because of fear.

Butterfly Atlas is found mainly in tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. Atlas butterfly wings and their behavior are so solid that in Chinese, the name Butterfly Atlas is synonymous with snake-headed butterflies.

Butterfly Atlas is also known as the world's largest wingspan. The wingspan of a female butterfly can reach 30cm, covering an area of ​​400cm ² .

Atlas butterflies are so strong and durable that in Taiwan, they use cocoons to make many useful products, including purses.

Despite the large size, the Atlas butterfly does not have a mouth. Once they leave the cocoon, they survive because of the fat stored in the larval stage. That may also be the reason why Atlas butterflies have a very short life span. They stay in the cocoon for about a month and then escape into beautiful beautiful creatures but only live for 1 or 2 weeks.
