  The creature with a wingspan up to 1 foot (30 cm) was photographed by Sandesh Kadur. He testified that
the butterfly seemed unusual,even it wanted to attack him, opening its wings and taking a defensive position. Leaving aside fear, Kadur managed to photograph it. Zoologistssay that those who will go to Asia and meet such huge butterflies should not be afraid, because they are harmless. The insect has a mouth onlypartly formed and survives from the fat accumulated as caterpillar (larvae). The butterfly atlas  lives up to two weeks. The largest butterfly on earth is unstable in flight and donʹt fly too far. His only goal in life is the perpetuation of the species.
