Attacus lemairei
Attacus lemairei is the less well known cousin of the Philippine species caesar, lorquini and atlas. At first sight they look like small atlas moths. With a wingspan between eighteen and twenty centimeter, their size is more comparable to that of an Attacus lorquini.
Seen in the garden of the Resort I was staying at.
This species only occurs on Palawan and Balabac.
