The Atlas moth, one of the largest moths in the world, lives a dramatic and brief adult life without a functional mouth. During their voracious caterpillar stage, they devour leaves of plants like citrus and guava to build up fat reserves. As adults, emerging with an impressive wingspan, they lack the ability to eat and survive for just one to two weeks, using their stored energy solely to find a mate. This incredible adaptation highlights the Atlas moth's unique lifecycle and the fascinating strategies of these giant insects
