These moths are often brightly colored and have translucent eyespots on their wings to frighten predators. Sexual dimorphism varies by species, but males can always be distinguished by their larger, broader antennae. Most adults possess wingspans between 1 to 6 inches (2.5 to 15 cm), but some tropical species, such as the atlas moth (Attacus atlas), may boast incredible wingspans of up to 12 inches (30 cm).... The Saturniidae family includes the giant silkmoths, royal moths, and emperor moths. Source: [wikipedia: saturniidae] |
