Sassanidera

Sassanidera is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1860. Species within this genus are found in the Australasian region.

The adult moths typically have a wingspan of moderate size, with variations depending on the specific species. Their coloration and patterns are often cryptic, aiding in camouflage against their natural surroundings. Like other geometrid moths, the larvae, or caterpillars, of Sassanidera species are known as inchworms, characterized by their distinctive way of locomotion. These caterpillars often feed on the foliage of various plants.

While detailed ecological information for all species may be limited, Sassanidera moths are part of the broader ecosystem in their native habitats, serving as a food source for predators and contributing to pollination in some cases. Further research may reveal more about their specific host plants, life cycles, and conservation status.
