I think its an atlas moth (not sure) its from my home only, a midnight visitor...I only got few clicks because of my camera battery is almost died..

its really a giant moth much bigger than our hand..click with canon 600D and 18-55mm kit lens , with camera flash,ISO 400. 1/60, F3.6..

Atlas Moth, Lucky Man to get near your home:thumbup1:.

My self & Prajwal spent hours searching for this elusive moth in SGNP , but could not spot it..

Nicely captured given the conditions. Where was this spotted, cann you share loaction details.
