Saturniidae, also known as the giant silk moths, are a diverse and fascinating family of insects. From the majestic Edwards Atlas Moth in Bhutan to the Calleta silkmoth in Texas, these creatures captivate us with their beauty and unique characteristics. In Plate 13 of Butterflies and Moths, we get a glimpse into the world of Bombyces Saturniidae. The Leucanella hosmera found in Panama showcases its vibrant colors while protecting itself in a defensive posture. Meanwhile, the Aurivillius triramis from Ghana displays its intricate patterns amidst the lush Laraganga Mole National Park. Traveling to different continents, we encounter more enchanting species. The Indian moon moth mesmerizes with its head-on view and feather-like antennae. In China's Dayaoshan forest, the Chinese moon moth rests gracefully among leaves, showcasing delicate elegance. Sulawesi boasts its endemic Actias isis female - an exquisite sight exclusive to this Indonesian island. Heading north to Canada's New Brunswick province brings us face-to-face with the Luna moth photographed against a pristine white backdrop. Across Africa's Western Serengeti region lies another marvel - the African moon moth (Argema mimosae), captivating observers with its size and grace. Amongst heather moorlands resides the Emperor moth female (Saturnia pavonia), providing a wide-angle view of her natural habitat. Finally, we witness nature's grandeur as Coscinocera hercules emerges in montane rainforests at Ambua Lodge - truly living up to its name as Hercules moth. The Saturniidae family encompasses an array of breathtaking species that span across continents and habitats. Their allure lies not only in their striking appearances but also in their ability to adapt and survive within various ecosystems worldwide.
