Sentences with SATURNIID (4)
Family--SATURNIIDÆ _The Emperor Moth_ (_Saturnia pavonia_) Here is another family with but one British member; but in this, as in the last case, the only representative is a really beautiful insect.
But the moths in certain families, such as the Zygænidæ, various Sphingidæ, Uraniidæ, some Arctiidæ and Saturniidæ, fly about during the day or early evening, and many of these are extremely beautiful, being far more brightly coloured than the strictly nocturnal kinds.
EMPEROR MOTH (_Saturnia pavonia_) a British moth belonging to a family Saturniidæ, of which some Indian species produce tussore silk.
More remarkable, however, is the recent discovery in the carboniferous shales of Belgium, of the clearly-defined wing of a large moth (_Breyeria borinensis_), closely resembling some of the Saturniidæ; so that we have now all the chief orders of Insects--including those supposed to be the most highly developed and the most recent--well represented at this very remote epoch.
