ALSO this moth is from the Saturniidae family, but the genus is automeris larra

Could model a dessert after it, maybe replace the poison with jam though.

Does anyone know the exact species? Saturniidae is just the family and it includes over 2000 species...

Here’s a link. It says 2,300 species. Has pictures. It’s quite a showy moth. https://www.google.com/search?q=saturniidae+moth&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS796US796&oq=Saturniidae&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l3.2483j0j9&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 …

Your link is seriously just the Google search for saturniidae moths?? I know what saturniidae moths are. I am asking which out of the 2300 species this one is since they're all different.

Give me a break. I’m not an entomologist. I’m a nature geek. The pic prompted me to Google and enjoy the moth pictures. That’s enough for me. I’m so sorry that your finger had expend energy to click on that link. You can go back to saving lives now.
