This moth was hanging out in the bathroom of the house I visited with all the big spiders. No wonder there are so many! Something straight out of @ewkaw's nightmares.
Moth antennae are the equivalent of a nose and moths use them to detect flower scents and even more importantly, a mate. Because of their short lifespans, time is of the essence. Scientists also think that antennae are used to control flight: with something that large, why not?
As for the eyes, they are just like owl eyes and moths mostly use their antennae to navigate. Unfortunately, the light in the bathroom means that this dude is unlikely to make it out alive

Good picture. This is not a butterfly, but a real monster of science fiction films. Just super.

Every now and then the waxworms i feed my tarantulas hatch into silvery moths. The spiders sometimes prefer the moths to the caterpillars for some reason.
