Jämeda

Jämeda is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The species within this genus are commonly referred to as emerald moths. They are distributed throughout the Palearctic region. The larvae of jämeda moths are typically herbivorous, feeding on various plant species. Adult moths are characterized by their often vibrant green coloration, which provides camouflage amongst foliage. The wingspan of species in this genus can vary, but they are generally medium-sized moths. Their flight period is usually during the warmer months, with adults often observed at dusk or during the night. The life cycle involves egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, typical of Lepidoptera. Research on jämeda species often focuses on their ecological roles, larval host plants, and distribution patterns.
