Lasion

Lasion is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852. Moths in this genus are typically found in the Afrotropical realm. There are several described species within the genus Lasion, including Lasion picta and Lasion eurylepton. The larvae of Lasion moths are thought to feed on various plants, though specific host plants can vary by species and geographic location. Adult Lasion moths are generally nocturnal and may be attracted to light sources. Their wing patterns and coloration can serve as camouflage or for species recognition. Research into Lasion species continues, contributing to our understanding of insect biodiversity and ecological relationships in the regions where they occur. Further study is often needed to fully document the life cycles, behaviors, and conservation status of individual Lasion species.
