Antheraea mylitta, commonly known as tasar silkmoth, is a species of moth found in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. The moth produces tasar silk, which is widely used in textile industries for its strong, durable, and lustrous nature. Some synonyms for Antheraea mylitta include the Indian tasar silkmoth, wild silkmoth, or oak tasar moth. The scientific name is derived from the Greek word for flower (anther) and the Latin word for small (mylitta), referring to the moth's small, delicate-looking wings. Tasar silk is considered a luxury fabric and is often used for high-end clothing and accessories, earning its nicknames of "King of Silks" and "Fabric of Royalty".
