A moth belonging to the family Bombycidae, which includes the silkworm moth.
From Bombyx (the genus name for silkworm) + -id (a suffix denoting a member of a family), derived from Latin bombyx meaning silkworm.
Silkworm moths have been so domesticated for over 5,000 years that they literally cannot survive in the wild anymore—they're completely dependent on human care, making them one of the earliest examples of human agricultural control.
