Abstract
This list reports 10 species of wild silk
moths belonging to 5 genera and two tribes. The moths were captured
using light trapping and opportunistic sighting across different sites in the
district over a two-year period from 2017 to 2019. Identification of the moths
was conducted through material and visual examination of the samples, utilizing
relevant literature and online databases for reference. The
study also emphasizes the significance of these lesser-known wild silk moth
species and investigates potential reasons for their declining populations,
aiming to conserve them for socio-economic benefits to the local communities.
