Protas

Protas is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. These moths are typically found in various regions and are characterized by their moderate size and often patterned wings. The larval stage, or caterpillar, of Protas moths, like other geometrids, often exhibits a characteristic inchworm-like movement due to having fewer prolegs than other caterpillars. The exact species distribution and host plant preferences can vary significantly within the genus. Information regarding the specific life cycle, habitat, and ecological role of individual Protas species is often detailed in entomological studies and regional faunal surveys. Research into this genus may focus on taxonomy, evolutionary relationships, or their impact on specific ecosystems.
