Distribution
Urania boisduvalii is found in Cuba.[1] Unlike Urania poeyi, which is found only in the eastern part of Cuba, this species is found throughout the island.[2]
Larvae of this species feed on Omphalea hypoleuca and Omphalea trichotoma,.[3]
gollark: It might end up *still* being impractically big if you want near-modern tech.
gollark: The hardest parts would probably be semiconductors and some chemicals and other stuff like that which requires very high precision.
gollark: Currently, manufacturing technology isn't good enough that you can conveniently make all the stuff you might want on a small space station/moonbase.
gollark: You can actually semi-automatically farm fish with construction bots and a large lake.
gollark: They may actually have some kind of outrage maximization algorithm going on, possibly by accident.
