Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas)
The Atlas moth is the largest moth in the world (measuring over 10 inches across), but that doesn't mean it's long-lived; once it emerges from its cocoon, its sole purpose is to breed - like many butterflies and moths, it doesn't even have a mouth! After about a week outside the cocoon, they die.
