Impressive large specimen.
The Argema mittrei, also known as the comet moth or Madagascan moon moth, is a large, striking nocturnal moth native to Madagascar. Males are known for their long, trailing tails, which can be up to 15 cm long, and their deep golden yellow colour featuring brown eye spot markings. These moths are sexually dimorphic, meaning males and females differ in appearance, with females having wider wings but shorter tails and a paler colouration.
The adult moth has a short lifespan of only 4-5 days and does not feed, relying on energy reserves from its larval stage.
