Actias
''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 ...
