Nopilla

Nopilla is a term that can refer to several things, primarily a type of insect, a surname, and in some contexts, a slang term.

As an insect, *Nopilla* is a genus of moths belonging to the family Geometridae. These moths are characterized by their relatively small size and often cryptic coloration, which helps them blend in with their surroundings. Their larvae, like those of other geometrid moths, typically have a reduced number of prolegs, giving them a characteristic "measuring worm" gait.

The surname Nopilla is of Spanish origin. Like many surnames, it likely originated from a place name or a descriptive characteristic of an ancestor. Its prevalence varies geographically, with higher concentrations typically found in Spanish-speaking countries.

In some informal or regional contexts, "nopilla" can be used as slang. The specific meaning can vary significantly depending on the location and the social group using the term. It is important to understand the context in which "nopilla" is used to correctly interpret its meaning.
