The Comet moth (Argema mittrei) or Madagascan moon moth is an African moth, native to the rain forests of Madagascar. The male has a wingspan of twenty centimeters and a tail span of fifteen centimeters, making it one of the world's largest silk moths.

The cocoon (white) has numerous holes to keep the pupa from drowning in the daily rains of its natural habitat.

The adult moth cannot feed and only lives for 4 to 5 days
