Saturniids

Saturnids, (also known as "silk moths") include the largest species of moths in the world.  Adults are characterized by large size, heavy bodies covered in hair-like scales. They have lobed wings, small heads and do not feed as adults due to their extremely small mouth parts. They often have translucent eyespots or "windows" on their wings. Males have larger, broader antennae which are typically "feathery" looking. There are only two species of Saturnid moths breeding in the Keys (Eacles imperialis) and (Automeris io).
