In Doctor Doolittle (1967), the Giant Luna Moth could carry Rex Harrison, a large globe, and about a dozen huge books from Sea Star Island to Puddleby on the Marsh faster than the Great Pink Sea Snail could make the trip undersea with several days’ head start. In the book “Doctor Doolittle in the Moon,” it’s how he and Tommy Stubbins got to the Moon (so far I’ve read enough of the book to confirm that suspicion based on the movie). Per the movie, its normal lifestyle was to fly to the moon, being attracted to its light, then be attracted by the light of the Earth, fly back, and repeat indefinitely.

Ruff answer, “Probably not all that big, but you can harness them in flocks, like with Pegasii.”

Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre
Has conquered the wayward breezes
