The Atlas Moth (Attacus Atlas)
The Atlas moth is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago. Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area of 400 cm2. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, reaching over 25 cm.
They are predominantly tawny to maroon in colour with roughly triangular, diaphanous “eyes” on both forewing and hindwing, bordered in black. The purpose of these dramatic, gossamer portals is not clear, but they are thought to play a role in predator avoidance. Their bodies are hairy and disproportionately small compared to their wings. Male Atlas moths are distinguished from females by their smaller size, more tapered wings, and larger, bushier antennae.
Neither sex possess fully formed mouthparts and therefore do not feed; throughout their 1–2-week adult life they survive entirely on larval fat reserves that they build up while they are caterpillars.

...Turns out I really like this website. XD
Temporary theme, will probably change tomorrow.
Quick information:
~ You may call me RHS, Rae, Jessica, or any variation on the names. Or, you know, come up with your own nickname? There's really only one (non-descriptive) name I'll never let you call me.
~ I live in the United States of America (in Ohio, to be exact).
~ I'm a huge writer of Teen Titans fanfiction and a novice with original tales, who has dabbled in poetry and myriad forms of artwork through her life.
I seem to follow three kinds of blogs:
~ Friends' lives! (Especially if deviantArt is involved.)
~ Teen Titans! (Especially if Raven is involved.)
~ To share/learn beliefs, information, images, meditative posts, and other assortments of esoteric things. (And this is just general spirituality. I'll follow anything! I'm an eclectic person/practioner, after all~ )
Other Tumblr-Related information:
I'm an avid roleplayer on sites like deviantArt and assorted messengers; I'm trying to get off the ground here, too!
OTHER BLOGS:
~ Wordplay and Random Fun: rhsrandomfun The more light-hearted or cynical side of me that just loves randomness and proves I have a sense of humor. ...somewhere. (This is also where "meme"-style posts go.)
~ Raven's Shadows: rhsart Just sharing my artwork... (All of it is migrated from my deviantArt account - RavensHiddenSoul.)
~ My Mystic Corner of the Universe: rhs-mystic-corner A bit more personal, but I wouldn't mind having followers. :3 Just... be warned: it's more on the esoteric/occultist front. And posted to sparingly.
~ Dove's roleplay account, of course! beyondthetemples It's bit bare-bones for now but that WILL change. X3
