Orobius

Orobius is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was first described by Charles Oberthür in 1910. Species within this genus are found in various parts of the world, with a notable presence in Asia.

The adult moths of Orobius species typically exhibit cryptic coloration, blending with their surroundings to avoid predation. Their wingspans are generally moderate for geometrids. Larval stages, like most geometer moths, are often called inchworms due to their characteristic looping locomotion. These caterpillars feed on the foliage of specific host plants, which can vary by species.

Research on Orobius is ongoing, with entomologists working to classify new species and understand their ecological roles. Their life cycles, mating behaviors, and geographical distributions are subjects of scientific study. Conservation status for Orobius species is not widely established, as many may be overlooked or not extensively studied.
