Perhaps the most collected of all butterflies, the Saturniidae is the largest and most spectacular with an estimated 1,300 to 1,500 different species known. The adults do not eat and live off the fat reserve accumulated as a caterpillar. Their main goal is to mate and reproduce. The distribution of the majority of satuniid (as they are collectively known) is found in wooded tropical and subtropical regions, though they are found all over the world.
Some well known species often found in collections are: Actias sp., Attacus sp., Automeris sp. and Rothschildia sp.
