Summary

Attacus taprobanis Moore, 1882

Photographer
Description
English: Attacus taprobanis is a moth of Saturniidae family. It is native to southern India and Sri Lanka. This species is very similar in morphology to the much more widely distributed Attacus atlas. It was once considered a subspecies of A. atlas. Here the larva feed on Swietenia macrophylla and later started to pupate by making a cocoon. They spin a 7-8 cm long papery cocoon interwoven with a leaf. They cut the petiole and attach it to the stem using a strand of silk prior to pupate. This is to prevent accidental falling of the desiccated leaf. The color of the dried leaf matches with the cocoon to offer enough camouflage. The adult moths emerge from the cocoon after approximately four weeks.
