Aegna

Aegna refers to a genus of moths belonging to the family Geometridae. These moths are characterized by their slender bodies and often intricately patterned wings. The larvae of Aegna moths, like other geometrids, typically have a reduced number of prolegs, giving them a "measuring worm" or "inchworm" appearance as they move. The specific host plants and life cycle details can vary significantly depending on the individual species within the Aegna genus. Information on their distribution and ecological roles is often studied within the context of their specific geographic regions. Research into Aegna species contributes to the broader understanding of insect biodiversity and the intricate relationships within ecosystems.
