🦋Attacus atlas

Attacus atlas (Linnaeus, 1758)

Attacus atlas veya Atlas güvesi, Asya'daki ormanlara özgü büyük bir güve türüdür. Tür, ilk olarak 1758 yılında Carl Linnaeus'un Systema Naturae'nin 10. baskısı eserinde tanımlanmıştır. 24 santimetreye varan kanat açıklığıyla en büyük kelebek türlerinden biridir. Thysania agrippinadan sonraki en uzun kanat açıklığına sahiptir. Türün dişisi erkeğinden önemli ölçüde büyüktür. Türün erkeklerinin ise daha kalın antenleri vardır. Bu güve türünün ağzı yoktur ve enerji kazanamaz. Buna bağlı olarak sadece 1 veya 2 hafta yaşayabilir. Dişi, yumurtladıktan sonra ölür.
