Kalikka

Kalikka is a genus of moths belonging to the family Geometridae. These moths are characterized by their often cryptic coloration, which helps them blend into their surroundings. The genus is primarily found in Asia, with various species distributed across different regions of the continent. The exact number of species within the genus Kalikka can vary depending on taxonomic classification, as new species are sometimes described or existing ones are reclassified.

The larvae of Kalikka moths, like other geometrids, typically feed on the leaves of various plants. The specific host plants can differ significantly between species, contributing to their localized distributions. Adult moths are generally nocturnal and are attracted to light sources. Their wingspans are usually moderate, with a range of sizes observed across the genus. Information on the life cycle and detailed ecological roles of many Kalikka species is still limited, with ongoing research contributing to a better understanding of their biology and conservation status.
