Angas (moth)
''Actias'' is a genus of Saturniid moths, which contains the Asian-American moon moths. Long tails on their hindwings are among their distinctive traits. Other moths with similar appearance are ''Copiopteryx'', '' Argema'' and '' Eudaemonia''. The majority of species in this genus feed on the leaves of sweetgum, pine, or similar trees. As with all Saturniids, adult ''Actias'' moths lack functional mouthparts so their lifespan after emergence from the cocoon only ranges from a few days to a week. Species The genus includes the following species: *'' Actias aliena'' (Butler, 1879) *'' Actias angulocaudata'' Naumann & Bouyer, 1998 *'' Actias apollo'' Röber, 1923 *'' Actias artemis'' ( Bremer & Gray, 1853) *'' Actias arianeae'' (Brechlin, 2007) *'' Actias australovietnama'' Brechlin, 2000 *'' Actias brevijuxta'' Nässig & Treadaway, 1997 *'' Actias callandra'' Jordan, 1911 – Andaman moon moth *'' Actias chapae'' Mell, 1950 *''Actias chrisbrechlinae'' (Brechlin, 2007) *''Act ...

Jain Angas
Jain literature (Sanskrit: जैन साहित्य) refers to the literature of the Jain religion. It is a vast and ancient literary tradition, which was initially transmitted orally. The oldest surviving material is contained in the canonical ''Jain Agamas,'' which are written in Ardhamagadhi, a Prakrit ( Middle-Indo Aryan) language. Various commentaries were written on these canonical texts by later Jain monks. Later works were also written in other languages, like Sanskrit and Maharashtri Prakrit. Jain literature is primarily divided between the canons of the ''Digambara'' and ''Śvētāmbara'' orders. These two main sects of Jainism do not always agree on which texts should be considered authoritative. More recent Jain literature has also been written in other languages, like Marathi, Tamil, Rajasthani, Dhundari, Marwari, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and more recently in English.
