Japanese Giant Moth

Biston robustum

Japanese Giant Moth

The adult Japanese giant moth flies through wooded habitats in Japan, often becoming active around dusk and at night. Adults seek suitable resting places and may visit flowers for nourishment while searching for mates. Its large, patterned wings provide excellent bark-like camouflage when it settles with its wings spread.
