Callosamia promethea, commonly known as the promethea silkmoth, is a member of the family Saturniidae, which contains approximately 1,300 species. It is also known as the spicebush silkmoth, which refers to is one of the promethea silkmoth's common host plants, spicebush (Lindera benzoin). C. promethea is classified as a silk moth, which stems from its ability to produce silk, which it does in the formation of its cocoon. C. promethea lives in forests in the eastern U.S. and does not damage the trees on which it lives. The species was first described by Dru Drury in 1773.

  • Callosamia promethea ist ein in Nordamerika vorkommender Schmetterling (Nachtfalter) aus der Familie der Pfauenspinner (Saturniidae). Der Grund für die Wahl des Artepithetons ist nicht zweifelsfrei geklärt. Eine Deutung ist jedoch, dass es auf Prometheus, einer Gestalt aus der griechischen Mythologie, zurückgeht, der u. a. als Sinnbild für die Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit des einzelnen Individuums gilt. Die Verbindung zum hier betrachteten Pfauenspinner besteht darin, dass dessen Kokon in einem eingerollten Blatt stets frei an einem Zweig hängt. (de)
