Attacus atlas is one of several mould species in Indonesia known as kupu-kupu gajah. Information about variety of mould is rarely known. The purpose of this research was to obtain data about variety of pathogenic or non pathogenic mould at imago,cocoon, and sixth larvae phase of wild silkworm A. atlas. Mould was isolated from cocoon, integument, alimentary duct and reproduction duct of imago, trachea, midgut and hindgut, also haemolymph of larvae. Isolated mould was cultured on potato dextrose agar. Isolated mould from cocoon and imago was identified by macroscopic and microscopic observation. The results showed that there were two kind of moulds from cocoon which were Fusarium oxysporum  and Aspergillus flavus. There were four kind of moulds from imago A. atlas which were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium dimerum, and Aspergillus sp.There were three kind of moulds from sixth larvae which were Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Fusarium dimerum. The mould which has opportunistic pathogenic for Attacus atlas were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus  flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Fusarium dimerum.

The very thin and lightweight silkworm cocoon has outstanding mechanical properties attributed to its specific composite microstructure. However, the microstructures of the cocoons have not been studied quantitatively, and their anti-puncture performance has not been examined as well. In this study, both domesticated ( Bombyx mori) and wild silkworm cocoons ( Antheraea pernyi, Antheraea mylitta and Samia canningi) were investigated for their microstructures using fractal theory, and their quasi-static puncture resistance was tested and compared. In addition, the effects of cocoon layers and hot-press treatments on the puncture resistance of two cocoon types ( B. mori and A. pernyi) were investigated. The three wild cocoons demonstrated significantly higher fractal dimensions, higher fiber intersectional densities and low porosities, indicating their structures are more optimized. They also displayed better puncture resistance than B. mori. Increased layer numbers could significantly increase the puncture resistance of both cocoon types and A. pernyi showed more remarkable increases. Moreover, the two cocoon types showed optimum puncture resistance after heat treatment with hot-press temperature of 135℃ and pressure of 25 MPa, and A. pernyi showed better puncture resistance after such treatment. Finally, both the maximum puncture force and puncture energy of cocoons displayed a linear increase with the increasing fractal dimensions. The new insights can guide the development of novel protective fiber composites with desirable and predictable anti-puncture performance.
