Ailanthus silkworm, also known as the Ailanthus webworm moth, is a species of moth that feeds on the leaves of the Ailanthus tree.

These synonyms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same species of moth. The Ailanthus silkworm is known for its distinctive web-like cocoon and its ability to produce silk, though it is not considered a commercially viable silk producer like the domesticated silkworm. Despite its name, the Ailanthus silkworm is not a true silkworm as it belongs to the family of moths and not the family of silkworms.
