The Giant Silk Moth (Arsenura armida) is a moth of the Saturniidae family. It is also known as the Giant Silk Moth. It is found mainly in South and Central America, from Mexico to Bolivia, and Ecuador to south-eastern Brazil. The larvae feed on Guazuma ulmifolia, Rollinia membranacea and Bombacopsis quinatum. To the indigenous people of the Zongolica area of Veracruz, the larvae are also a form of sustenance; they are gathered and consumed after being cooked.
