Best Answer

The largest discovered moth in the world (there are still regions of our planet that haven't been explored) is called Attacus atlas. Also known as Atlas Moth.

They can grow a wingspan of up to 30cm. They are found in South-East Asia and the Malay areas.

Although sometimes during migration they can get lost and end up where they shouldn't be, especially if they get caught in a strong wind. The furthest an Atlas Moth has been found is in Manchester, England, probably after being "hijacked" by the wind because they shouldn't be that far out of Asia naturally (it was taken to a specialist zoo in England to be looked after).
