American giant moth

The American giant moth (Americacoscinocera giganteum), also known as the American Hercules moth, is a species of moth in the family Saturniidae, subfamily Saturniinae, a group commonly known as giant silk moths, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American giant moth is named for it being nearly identical to the Hercules moths (Coscinocera hercules) of New Guinea and northern Australia, yet is an American species more closely related to other Saturniinae moths of North America. Adults have a wingspan of about 27 centimetres (11 in), making it among the largest moths, and its wings have the largest documented surface area (300 square centimeters) of any native modern insect. They are mainly colored golden-brown and white, with transparent spots on each of the four wing sections- the coloring and patterns between sexes is mostly static. However, adult males have longer, slimmer tails on their wings than females do, making it somewhat easy to differentiate them in this way. Their larvae grow up to 12 cm (about 4.7 in), and will weigh around 29 grams in their final instar. They are a pale-blue or green color, with red dots along their sides and yellow spines. As an adult, the American giant moth does not eat. Their larvae will feed on the leaves of a variety of rainforest, swamp, and forest trees. The conservation status of the American giant moth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American giant moth's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
