Madagaskan Moon Moth  (Saturnidae Argema mittrei)
Both male and female specimens below were purchased as cocoons.  The male image is from a photo by Mark Lasko.  The female is from a scan.  The undersides are very similar to the top, and so are not shown.

Top side of the male moth.
Wingspan for this male specimen is about 127 mm / 5 inches.

Top side of the female moth.
Wingspan for this female specimen is about 149 mm / 5.9 inches.
