Featomissa

Featomissa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by George Hampson in 1896. These moths are found in Southeast Asia.

The larvae of Featomissa moths feed on various plant species, although specific host plants may vary between species within the genus. Adult Featomissa moths are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light sources. Their wingspan and coloration can differ depending on the species, but many exhibit cryptic patterns that aid in camouflage against their natural environment.

Research into the genus Featomissa is ongoing, with entomologists working to further classify its species and understand their ecological roles. Due to their relatively small size and often cryptic nature, they are not as widely recognized as some other moth families. Their study contributes to the broader understanding of insect biodiversity and the intricate relationships within ecosystems.
