DISTRIBUTION:

The Antheraea yamamai titan moth flies in Vietnam.

FLIGHT TIMES AND PREFERRED FOOD PLANTS:

This sub-species is probably single-brooded, and larvae probably feed on chestnuts and oaks.

ECLOSION, SCENTING AND MATING:

Females attract the night flying males with an airbourne pheromone.

EGGS, LARVAE, COCOONS AND PUPAE:

I believe the egg stage is the diapausing stage for this species. Eggs overwinter affixed to twigs and stems and emerge in the spring with warming temperatures.

Larval Food Plants


It is hoped that this alphabetical listing followed by the common name of the foodplant will prove useful. The list is not exhaustive. Experimenting with closely related foodplants is worthwhile.
