Atlas moth and Croton habrophyllus
Named after Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology, the Atlas moth is one of the largest moths in the world. They have a wingspan of up to 30cm, with the females being larger than the males. They are primarily nocturnal with patterned wings that provide camouflage and predator deterrence - the top tip of the wing pattern resembles the head of a snake about to strike.
Once a common resident in areas along the Top End coast, there is a project underway to increase the population of the moth locally. Growing the correct species of plants for the moth is key. Croton habrophyllus - also know as Atlas Croton is a deciduous tree, endemic to Australia that is one of the important species to the moth. This small tree thrives along water courses in open forests and in monsoon forests.
This cushion has different scale prints on each side.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
