Anoodina

Anoodina is a genus of moths belonging to the family Geometridae. The species within this genus are primarily found in Asia, with a notable distribution across regions like Japan, China, and Korea. These moths are generally small to medium in size, with wingspans typically ranging from 20 to 30 millimeters. The coloration of Anoodina species varies, but many exhibit cryptic patterns of browns, grays, and muted yellows, providing camouflage against tree bark and foliage.

The larval stage, or caterpillar, of Anoodina moths feeds on various plant species, though specific host plants can differ between species. Information regarding the exact life cycle and ecological roles of many Anoodina species is still an area of ongoing research. Their adult moths are typically nocturnal or crepuscular, meaning they are active during the night or at dawn and dusk. Like other geometrid moths, Anoodina adults possess a characteristic resting posture where their wings are held flat against their bodies. The taxonomy of this genus has seen some revisions over time, with certain species being reclassified or grouped differently. Further research is needed to fully understand the biodiversity and evolutionary history of the Anoodina genus.
