Saturnia (Caligula) thibeta from China
This is the first time offered by WWB!
Nomenclature changes over time. This species has a lot in common with Dictyoploca and Caligula but is now regarded as being Saturnia, along with our Emperor Moth pavonia and the giant European pyri.
Refrigerate the eggs until buds open in spring.
Larger larvae are sperctacular, covered with white curly hair, a bit like our Miller Moth! They feed on Liquidambar, Privet and a range of Prunus trees and bushes.
The cocoon is netted with open weave, that shows the pupa inside. The cocoon is formed in summer the moths wait for autumn before emergence.
