A moth of the family Saturniidae in the order Lepidoptera, also known as Fusan (maple silkworm). It is a relatively large, light brown moth with a forewing span of about 90 mm, and is found in southern China, Hainan Island, Vietnam, India, and other areas. It emerges once a year, developing as a larva from March to May, spending summer and autumn in the pupal stage, and becoming an adult from December to January of the following year, mating and laying eggs. The larvae feed on the leaves of maples, camphor trees, willows, and other trees. Silk thread can be made from the silk glands of the larvae, so they are kept in captivity in some areas.
