Newborn Attacus Atlas. Atlas moths are considered to be the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area (upwards of c. 400 square cm or 65 square inches). Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25-30 cm (10-12 inches). Females are appreciably larger and heavier. Taken in Collodi, Tuscany Italy by Flavio@Flickr

"Italy is warm, welcoming and wonderful, and Tuscany is truly beautiful. This photo overlooking the village of Cortona shows the olive groves and the old walled city, pleasantly basking in the Tuscan sun. A shame though, the atmosphere has not the clarity it once had. Man tends to combust what comes out of the ground". Taken by M. Benaut

"The ancient city of Siena in Tuscany has this strikingly beautiful cathedral in black and white stripes. At night when the tourists have left it stands almost alone in all its grandeur". Taken by Michael
