Attacus taprobanis Moore, 1882 |

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 on 13 June 2018. The larva spun a 7-8 cm long papery cocoon interwoven with a leaf. It 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 moth emerged from the cocoon as photographed here on 07 July 2018. The wingspan of male is about 180-200 mm. Deutsch: Attacus taprobanis ist ein Motte der Saturniidae Familie. Sie stammt aus Südindien und Sri Lanka. Diese Art ist in ihrer Morphologie dem viel weiter verbreiteten Attacus-Atlas sehr ähnlich. Sie galt einst als Unterart des A. atlas. Hier ernähren sich die Larven von der Swietenia macrophylla und begannen sich später am 13. Juni 2018 mit der Herstellung eines Kokons zu verpuppen. Die Larve spinnte einen 7-8 cm langen papierenen Kokon, der mit einem Blatt verflochten war. Er schneidet den Stiel ab und befestigt ihn mit einem Strang Seide am Stiel, bevor er sich verpuppt. Dadurch wird ein versehentliches Herunterfallen des ausgetrockneten Blattes verhindert. Die Farbe des getrockneten Blattes passt zum Kokon, um genügend Tarnung zu bieten. Die erwachsene Motte tauchte aus dem Kokon auf, wie sie hier am 7. Juli 2018 fotografiert wurde. Die Spannweite des männlichen Exemplars beträgt ca. 180-200 mm. |
