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.
