Saturniinae

The Saturniinae or saturniines are a subfamily of the family Saturniidae. They are commonly known as emperor moths or wild silk moths. They are easily spotted by the eyespots on the upper surface of their wings. Some exhibit realistic eye-like markings, whilst others have adapted the eyespots to form crescent moon or angular shapes or have lost their wing scales to create transparent windows. They are medium to very large moths, with adult wingspans ranging from 7.5 to 15 cm, in some cases even more. They consist of some of the largest groups of Lepidoptera like the moon or luna moth, atlas moth, and many more. The Saturniinae is an important source of wild silk and human food in many different cultures.

Atlas silk

Etles or Etles Silk is a type of Ikat that Uyghurs used traditionally for woman's clothing, however, more and more Uyghur fashion designers are introducing Etles to Men's clothing. Nowadays, Etles's unique pattern is no longer limited to application in clothing, it can be easily found in home decoration and accessories. It is a kind of silk produced by the atlas moth. One of the largest production sites is the city of Hotan and surrounding towns in the Uyghur homeland.

Cupido carswelli is a small butterfly found in the West Palearctic that belongs to the blues family. It is endemic to Spain.Cupido carswelli was described by Henri Stempffer as a form of Cupido minimus. The taxonomic status of the taxon carswelli is still unclear: depending on the sources, it is considered either a species in its own right or a subspecies of Cupido minimus, as at the time of its description. A recent morphometric analysis suggests that both taxa are conspecific, while a molecular barcoding study supports the opposite viewpoint, making carswelli appear to be closer to Cupido lorquinii than Cupido minimus sensu stricto. More in-depth molecular analyzes are considered necessary to resolve the relationship between these three closely related taxa.
