Looks like an uneven match. That bug is huge! Very interesting and dramatic capture-very cool!

Fascinating insect pairing and fine image - the bigger bug looks like plant-eating leatherbug (Coreoidea). The moth could be in the Ctenuchid family.

Looks like a scene out of some Hollywood B monster movie. :) :) :) 
Did you stick around to see the outcome?
