The Atlas moth camouflages itself by mimicking a snake to stay safe.

The Atlas moth is not a typical moth in appearance. Its uniqueness lies not only in its impressive wingspan of 9.4 inches but also in its remarkable ability to camouflage itself as one of nature’s most formidable predators, the snakes.

These moths are endemic to the forests of Asia and were first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
The distinctive wing pattern sets them apart. The upper surface of the wings displays a reddish-brown hue adorned with patches of black, white, pink, and purple lines, while the tips of both forewings feature notable extensions that resemble a snake’s head.
