Dudusa nobilis is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by Francis Walker in 1865. It is found in northern and south-eastern China[1] and Taiwan.
The larvae feed on the leaves of Litchi chinensis and Nephelium lappaceum.[2]
Dudusa nobilis is non-poisonous and generally harmless to humans, so there's no need for excessive concern about its potential impact on health.[3]
