Saturniidae of Tunisia

Three Saturniidae species are generally listed for Tunisia.

Saturnia atlantica

Saturnia ligurica

Saturnia pyri

I suspect Saturnia ligurica and Saturnia atlantica would be on the wing from February-April, and the much larger Saturnia pyri would be on the wing in April-May, with all three species being single-brooded.
