Things that you’re in awe at the size of.
Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.
Rules
Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here
No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.
while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it's own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

the lamp is providing the lighting
Probably the biggest moth I've ever seen. Also beautiful colours
~~It is the biggest species. Up to 30 cm wingspan.~~
Edit: this was written when I thought this was an Atlas moth.
Banana for scale?
One banana, one peach and six blackberries.
I hate to be a jerk, but that's not an atlas moth. I'm my opinion, cecropia moths are much, much prettier than atlas moths. And this one is gorgeous!
Not a jerk at all, I just was curious what the biggest moth was and then searched for images.
Mothra after eating a mini-mushroom be like
These dudes hang out in my shed and scare the shit our of me when they suddenly blast off.
So beautiful and soft, it looks like embroidery!
Oh! I looked, if you want to embroider a cecropia moth but aren't up for doing it freehand, there's patterns out there! You'd need to know the technique for getting the red part realistically furry.
DUDE
Massive
Wow, that thing is huge!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Username tracks!
Everyone be like wow but it's just a person with really tiny hands.
