Thier bodies are hairy and small compared with their wings. They vary in colour, in various shades of brown. The female Atlas moth lays eggs. These eggs will turn into dusty-green caterpillars after 2 weeks. They eat the leaves of citrus trees and other evergreens. The adult moths will appear after a month. |
