'Tineola bisselliella' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the clothes moth. This insect has the unusual reputation of a moth that tries to avoid light and lighted areas. It also has the reputation of getting its food by being able to turn the keratin of wool and other natural fibers into food sources.
But this ravenous damage is done only during the larval stage, as a caterpillar. The adults as male moths seek mates and the adults as female moths seek egg-laying sites. In the process, neither one of them eats.
'Plutella xylostella' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the diamondback moth. The moth is the small, inconspicuous, grayish-brown adult stage of the insect. It's so called because of the white or pale yellow diamond pattern that forms when the wings come together at rest.
The moth lays yellow eggs that hatch into a green caterpillar. The caterpillar is a most enthusiastic devourer of the leaves of such related food crops as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radish and turnip. Between the caterpillar and the moth stages is a yellow pupal stage.
An Atlas moth is a variety of moth, Latin name Attacus atlas, found in the tropical forests of southeast Asia.

The Atlas Moth has very few enemies. Some species of caterpillars will eat the larvae of the Atlas Moth. Atlas Moths are used in India to make a type of silk. The fibers from their cocoons are harvested after the Atlas Moth has emerged.
The atlas moth is the largest saturniid moth which originated in Indonesia. The average wing span of the moth is 262 millimeters.
No, the largest is the Atlas moth
The biggest type of moth is the Atlas moth. It's a proven fact by the scientists of Central Michigan Comity.
The Atlas moth has the shortest life span. They spend about a month in their cocoons. After coming out of the cocoon, they live about one to two weeks as an adult then usually die.

The Attacus Atlas Moth is a member of the Saturnidae Family. Imagos i.e. adult moths,of the Saturnids have non-functional mouth-parts, meaning that they cannot eat. Therefore all the energy requirments of the imago are built up by the larval stage i.e. the caterpillar. This energy is largely stored as fats that pass from the larva through the pupa to the imago. The answer to the question "How does an Attacus Atlas Moth obtain food?" is, The Attacus Atlas Moth does not obtain food as an adult.
It would appear that a common term for the Atlas moth is the 'cobra butterfly' this could be because the wings are similar in appearance to a cobra snake.
Some birds and snakes are enemies of the attacus atlas moth. The moth, however, is quite adept at camouflage and is able to escape predation because of it.
