Real-world information
The hercules moth, named the oak silk moth, are among the largest moths in the world. Both their body and wings have the record, but their bodies are quite small compared to their wings. They are named after the hero of Greek Mythology. Like in game, when scared, they flee, releasing a very heavy flap. Transparent sections on the wings in some moths and butterflies help serve as a camouflage, so that predators cannot see the insect.
Atlas moths are a saturniid moth, a group that includes the famous luna moth. Despite what their common name suggests, they are only distant cousins of the domestic silk moth (Bombyx mori) which belong to the family Bombycidae.
