Welcome to BugsDirect Ltd. Leading Suppliers of Worldwide Entomology Specimens (Retail/Wholesale)
Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Attacus atlas - the world's largest moth species. These packs of giant Atlas moth specimens offers exceptional value for framers, artists, collectors, and retailers seeking nature's most magnificent lepidoptera with an impressive 8-inch wingspan.
Atlas moths are named after the Greek Titan who held up the heavens - a fitting tribute to their enormous size and majestic presence. The intricate wing patterns feature earthy tones of rust, cream, pink, and brown, with distinctive triangular transparent 'windows' that resemble snake heads - a natural defence mechanism that has evolved over millennia.
These moth specimens are ideal for diverse applications. Create stunning framed displays and shadow boxes, use in natural history installations and museum exhibits, stock your retail shop or gallery, incorporate into wedding décor and event styling, embed in resin for large-scale art pieces, build educational collections, or use for scientific photography and illustration.
Choose you pack size of 2, 10 or 100 giant Atlas moths (Attacus atlas), each carefully preserved and packaged. Specimens arrive unmounted with wings closed, ready for setting, framing, or your creative projects. Expect impressive 8-inch wingspans with the characteristic russet and cream colouration and transparent wing windows that make this species instantly recognizable.
Atlas moths are found across tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. Remarkably, adult Atlas moths don't eat - they live entirely on energy stored during their caterpillar stage, surviving only 5-7 days to mate and lay eggs. This brief but spectacular adult life makes preserved specimens all the more precious.
All our Atlas moth specimens are ethically sourced from sustainable rearing projects that support local communities. These programmes provide economic alternatives while protecting wild populations and forest habitats.
Each specimen is graded A1/A1- for quality. Each specimen is in excellent condition with vibrant colours and intact wings
Your specimens arrive carefully packaged with protective materials to ensure safe transit. Each moth is individually wrapped to prevent damage during shipping.
Stock your studio with nature's largest moth. Order your unmounted giant Atlas moths today and bring the wonder of tropical forests to your creative projects and retail displays.

This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
These were really great! Lots of variety and will be useful, thank you!
