Saturniidae is a family of large moths commonly known as silk moths. They are known for their impressive size, vibrant colors, and distinctive patterns on their wings. Many species within this family are found in tropical and subtropical regions, but they can also be seen in temperate areas. These moths are famous for their silk production, which has been utilized in the textile industry. The larvae, or caterpillars, of Saturniidae are often large and striking, feeding on a variety of plants. Adult moths typically have short lifespans and do not feed, relying on stored energy from their caterpillar stage.
