Description
"Atlas Moth"
An impressionist digital oil painting on canvas of an Asian Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) just emerged from its cocoon, wings unfurled and getting ready for its first test flight through the tropical forest it calls home. Among the largest in the order Lepidoptera, Atlas moths can have a wing span of almost 10 inches across! They never eat once they have emerged from their cocoon, and tragically only live for 1 to 2 weeks. I used shades of brown, black, green, yellow, gray and just a touch of blue for my portrait of this beautiful insect. Please visit my The Zoo art gallery to see more of my insect artwork.
