0:46 Tropical Swallowtail moth 2:36 Brahmin moth, often called the Japanese Owl moth. 3:16 Atlas moth with injured wing. 4:24 Three horned rhinoceros beetle, easier to identify when standing upright. 4:50 Healthier looking Atlas moth. 5:43 Almost mistook it for a type of Luna moth but it's actually a Saterniid moth. 7:40 Hawk moth is feeling a little camera shy.

Wow, that was so amazing. Besides the bigger moths, that smaller orange on the bin at the start of this video was still one of my favourite smaller moths.

@Paledoptera 3 жыл бұрын

fun fact: those aren't actually atlas moths. atlas moths have less wavey wing patterns, usually have lighter colorations, and the tips of the upper wings have markings that look like the sides of snake's heads. the wing patterns on these are a lot more sporadic and random than attacus atlas, and the "snake head" markings look wildly different. these are actually the much rarer "Archaeoattacus edwardsii", or edward's atlas moths. while they're not that difference in appearance, they're actually a completely different and MUCH rarer genus and there's very little information about them online. really cool to see one in the wild!

@richardpoxon 3 жыл бұрын

hi, yes you are quite correct, edwardsii is the more common species here. I usually see 2 or 3 during an evening. Attatcus usually arrives on 1 in 3 nights and they are often somewhat tatty. Edwardsii is my personal favorite with its deeper and more purple tones and of course 2 eyes! Quite breathtaking!

@richardpoxon 4 жыл бұрын

You need to use a white sheet and a mercury vapor lamp 125W. A portable generator and a dark place in a rainforest with permits if necessary.. then sit back and relax keeping a careful watch for anything you dont want to encounter. Creating a commotion usually attracts the attention of other animals looking for the free meal! The rainy season is always best for insects in Malaysia. I run the light until about 4 am and switch it off before it starts to get light again allowing everything to return to the forest.

Hi There, apologies for the late reply, i've been away. I have tried to use my trap in crete and kefalonia during August without much luck. Your best bet would be to try hign ground above 1000ft perhaps during late springtime. The lamps are safe as long as you dont stare at the bulb for long periods. I have heard of other entomologists who use sunglasses to block uv light but i personally dont bother. Best of luck! Richard.

Just taken another look at the video and at 3.44 there is a very large 3 horned Rhino Beetle, very capable of flight albeit rather cumbersome, avoid being hit in the face when they fly in although you usually hear them coming with a characteristic clattering noise they make during flight. They are harmless but you have to avoid the hooks at the end of the legs, they can be as long as 4 or 5mm and easily pierce skin.
