Anaphe panda (Boisduval, 1847) NOTODONTIDAE

            N'kankiti (Kikongo)

The caterpillars feed on Bridelia spp. or Chaetocarpus africanus. The young larvae collect together on the leaves while the older larvae collect on the bark of the tree.  When pupating the caterpillars form a silken nest close to the stem of a bush or tree. The caterpillars are removed once they are of sufficient size and are much appreciated being quite fatty. They are usually cooked with a few hot peppers and a little salt. Stomach contents are not removed. Previously the nests were used to keep gunpowder dry while hunting. (See Mbahin, N. (2008) The ecology and economic potential of wild silkmoth Anbaphe panda in Kakamega forest. PhD Thesis Kenyatta University, Nairobi).
