Kalause

Kalause is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852. Moths in this genus are found in various parts of the world, with species documented in regions including the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

The larval stages of Kalause moths are herbivorous, feeding on specific host plants that vary depending on the species. Adult moths typically possess distinctive wing patterns, though these can differ significantly between species. Their activity patterns can range from diurnal to nocturnal.

Research on Kalause species often focuses on their ecological roles, such as pollination or as a food source for other animals. Due to the diversity within the genus, further taxonomic and biological studies are ongoing to better understand the classification and life cycles of these moths. The exact number of species within the genus is subject to ongoing scientific revision.
