Bricrius

Bricrius is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by William Warren in 1893. Species within this genus are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the ecological roles and distribution of Bricrius species.

The larvae of Bricrius moths are herbivorous, feeding on specific host plants within their native habitats. The adult moths are generally nocturnal or crepuscular, exhibiting a variety of wing patterns and coloration that may serve as camouflage or for mate attraction. As with many moth species, detailed life cycle information, including egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, can vary significantly between species within the genus.

The taxonomy of Bricrius is subject to ongoing scientific review, and the precise number of recognized species can change with new discoveries and phylogenetic analyses. Efforts in entomological research aim to document and conserve these insect populations and their associated ecosystems.
