Drymopa

Drymopa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. Species within this genus are typically found in the Oriental region.

The larvae of Drymopa species are known to feed on various plants, though specific host plants can vary by species. Like other geometrid moths, the larval stage often exhibits a characteristic looping movement. Adult Drymopa moths are generally characterized by their relatively slender bodies and broad wings. Wing patterns can range from cryptic markings to more distinctive designs, often providing camouflage against their environment.

The life cycle follows the typical holometabolous pattern of moths, beginning with an egg, followed by the larval (caterpillar) stage, then the pupal stage, and finally the adult moth. The duration of each stage is influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and food availability. Research on the genus Drymopa is ongoing, with studies often focusing on taxonomy, distribution, and ecological roles within their native habitats. Conservation status varies for individual species within the genus, with some being more widespread than others.
