Many estimate that there are between 1200 and 1500 different Saturniidae species worldwide. This site contains images and files of the large and showy moths (Saturniidae) of North American .
Other sites, listed at the bottom of this page, feature African, Asian, Australian, European, Mexican, and South and Central American moths.

I also maintain sites of Ceratocampinae (Citheronia or the beautiful regal moths) and sites on the Sphingidae (Hawk moths) and on the butterflies of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Simply click on the hypertext below to access pictures and information. Most of the files contain many images and may take a while to load, but you can read the text while you are waiting.

Because this website is on the limited space (5mgb) provided by my email service provider, I have had to move many of the previously active files, below, to another site to accomodate the butterfly and Sphingidae images on the livestock page and to accomodate the images and information about Citheronia regalis.

Files previously active have been moved to the WLSS membership club site.
