Question : Moth ID

Hello!

04-18-09_02-crop-400

Can you please identify the species in the attached photo?  We saw it over the weekend near Capitol Tower.  My husband's foot is in the photo for scale.

Many thanks for your assistance!!

Hi Nicole,
The moth in your photo is Lyssa zampa, from the Uraniidae family. It is the 2nd largest moth in Singapore, Atlas moth being the largest.

Regards
