Silkmoths

SIlkmoths are a species of large winged insect-creatures native to the Hearthplane. Possessing large scaled wings, SIlkmoths flutter about beneath the canopies of the Hearthplane feeding on plants and fibers found throughout the forests. Most have a wingspan of 2 to 3 meters in length, and weigh up to 45 kilograms. They are known in both their larval stages and in adulthood to produce a durable silk which they may use to create cocoons and other implements in which they may take shelter or store collected food for later. This silk is commonly collected by intelligent races for use in crafting clothing or tools.
