Moths with wing patterns resembling snake heads

Moths with wing patterns resembling snake heads have been spotted in South-west China’s Yunnan province.

Two Edward’s Atlas moths were recently discovered in the Tengchong section of the Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve in south-west China’s Yunnan province. The moths are famous for the patterns on the upper corner of their wings, which bear an uncanny resemblance to the heads of snakes.
