About Actias dubernardi Oberthür, 1897
Actias dubernardi, commonly known as the Chinese moon moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Saturniidae. This species was first formally described by Charles Oberthür in 1897. This moth occurs in mountainous forests across Southeast Asia, covering large areas of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, and may also be found in Taiwan. Its habitats are very humid, and can become quite cold during nights and winter. The cloud forests it inhabits lie between 1000 meters and 2500 meters above sea level. Development from egg to adult takes 70 to 85 days, with the duration varying based on temperature and humidity. To mate, females release pheromones that attract males.
