A
Chinese Oak Silkmoth, also
known as Chinese Tussah Silkmoth,
spotted in
Doi Mae Salong.
It has the binomial name
Antheraea pernyi and
is a member of the family of Saturniidae moths.
Like other species in this family,
it has feather antennae and no functioning mouthparts. Hence, it does not feed
in the adult stage and has an estimated lifespan of about 14 days. It is
therefore rarely seen in the wild.
