Mônicas

Mônicas is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Mônicas moths are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas.

The larvae of Mônicas moths are known to feed on a variety of plants, including those in the families Fabaceae and Solanaceae. Adult moths are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light. They have a wingspan that ranges from approximately 2 to 4 centimeters, depending on the species.

The genus Mônicas includes several described species, though the taxonomy is subject to ongoing research and revision. Identification of specific species often requires detailed examination of wing patterns and genitalia. These moths play a role in their ecosystems as pollinators and as a food source for other animals. Further research is needed to fully understand the ecological significance and life cycles of many Mônicas species.
