This photo might not look like much because it’s hard to tell perspective. That said, the white witch moth grows to 14 inches wide. This one appeared to be at least that. Photographed early morning in the northern Amazon basin of Loreto, Peru. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/125th of a second.
Sean, I missed this image entirely. It is a beauty. Such creatures always reel me. I find them fascinating & beautiful & the size of this moth is astounding as is the composition of your image!

Yeah with moths it’s really about girth vs. length
WOW!!!! What a sight. I bet it’s spectacular in flight too being so big. The black & white wings & body are beautiful.
Wish I saw that, but I was careful not to disturb it and it never flew away.
So cool.
