Attacus atlas was created in 1758.
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.
Natural enemies of the Attacus atlas moth include birds, spiders, and parasitic wasps. These predators may target the moth during various stages of its life cycle, such as when it is a caterpillar or a fully grown adult.
Attacus atlas moth caterpillars primarily feed on the leaves of a specific type of tree known as the Soursop or Custard Apple tree. These caterpillars have a specialized diet and rely solely on the leaves of this particular tree to grow and develop into adult moths.
Attacus is a genus of large moths, most notably the Attacus atlas, which is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, including countries like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. These moths inhabit forests and are often found in areas with abundant vegetation. They are known for their impressive wingspan and striking patterns.
The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) holds the title for having the largest wingspan of any moth species, measuring up to around 12 inches (30 cm) across. This impressive moth is native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia.

The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) holds the title for the largest insect in terms of wingspan, which can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm). In terms of body length, the Titan beetle (Titanus giganteus) takes the crown, with adults reaching lengths of over 6.5 inches (16.7 cm).
One example of a moth with a hard shell is the Atlas moth (Attacus atlas). Its wings are covered in scales that give them a hard, durable quality. This toughness helps protect the moth from predators and environmental elements.
