Notice anything peculiar about the face of this African moon moth? If you look closely, you’ll see that it doesn’t have a mouth! While caterpillars of this species have an almost uncontrollable appetite, adults have no functioning mouth parts and live on stored fat for their entire lives, which is only about one week. While their time spent as adults is quite short, these beauties certainly leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to spot them. Moon moths have an enormous wing span compared to other species, measuring nearly five inches across. Apart from the eye-like markings on its wings, the color and shape of the wings give the appearance of a piece of foliage, especially the tail-like structures of the rear wings which resemble a dried-out leaf stem – attributes that act as camouflage and protection from predators.
