It has a wingspan of 27 centimetres (11 in), making it the largest moth found in Australia, and its wings have the largest documented surface area (300 square centimeters) of any living insect. The larvae feed on Polyscias elegans, Glochidion ferdinandi, Dysoxylum muelleri, Black Cherry, Timonius rumphii, but also eat other plants in captivity.
