Eccola

Eccola is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by William Warren in 1894. The moths in this genus are typically small to medium-sized with intricate wing patterns that often serve as camouflage. Their larvae, like those of other geometrids, are known as inchworms or loopers and have a distinctive way of moving by looping their bodies.

The exact distribution of Eccola species varies, but they are found in various parts of the world, often associated with specific host plants for their larval stages. The life cycle involves eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Adult moths are generally nocturnal or crepuscular, feeding on nectar from flowers. Information on the specific ecological roles and conservation status of individual Eccola species may be limited and subject to ongoing research. Further study is needed to fully understand the diversity and distribution within this genus.
