i think it's that big (more or less). it's bigger than my palm. i'll label it as Atlas Moth. i can edit it again if our ID is wrong :D

If it's an Atlas moth, it should have a 12-inch wingspan, give or take... it's the biggest kind of moth, you see. Anyway, good luck!

oh! it looks similar to Atlas moth indeed. i'll ask my teacher to confirm this ID :)
