Aithios

Aithios is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1860. Species within this genus are typically found in tropical regions.

The moths belonging to the Aithios genus are characterized by their wing patterns and coloration, which can vary between species. Like other geometrid moths, the larval stage, or caterpillar, undergoes a period of significant growth before pupation. The adult moths are generally crepuscular or nocturnal. Their diet, if they feed at all as adults, typically consists of nectar.

The ecological role of Aithios moths, like many insects, contributes to the broader ecosystem through pollination and as a food source for other animals. Research into this genus often focuses on taxonomy, distribution, and understanding their life cycles within their specific habitats. Further detailed studies are often needed to fully delineate the characteristics and distribution of individual species within the Aithios genus.
