Gonimbrasia moths are a genus of moths belonging to the family Saturniidae, commonly known as giant silk moths. They are primarily found in tropical regions of Africa and are known for their large size and striking colors. The larvae of these moths are often called caterpillars and are known to feed on a variety of host plants, including those from the Euphorbiaceae family. Adult Gonimbrasia moths are characterized by their broad wings and distinctive patterns, which can serve as camouflage against predators. They play a role in their ecosystems as pollinators and as a food source for other animals. The life cycle of these moths includes a complete metamorphosis, transitioning from egg to larva, pupa, and finally to adult moth.
