ananya, I could not find something as interesting as your picture but you could check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturniidae though I am not a pro at them, you could have a look.
Very much terrifying wings..!!
Any suggestions on what it might be called?
Looks like a mask for carneval. Impressive.
