Intisessa

Intisessa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1860. Species within this genus are found in Australia. The larvae of Intisessa moths are typically leaf feeders, and their host plants are often associated with various native Australian flora. Adult moths are generally small to medium-sized, with a wingspan that varies depending on the specific species. Their coloration can range from cryptic browns and greys, aiding in camouflage against bark and foliage, to more striking patterns. The wing shape is typical of many geometrids, often appearing somewhat triangular when at rest. Further research into the life cycle and ecological role of Intisessa species is ongoing, contributing to our understanding of Australian lepidopteran biodiversity.
