Tagú

Tagú is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. These moths are commonly found in various regions, with species documented across different continents. The larvae of tagú moths, like other geometrids, are typically known as inchworms or loopers due to their distinctive method of locomotion. They move by extending their bodies forward and then bringing their hind legs up to meet their front legs, creating a looping motion.

The adult moths exhibit a range of wing patterns and colors, often serving as camouflage against their natural backgrounds. Their diet varies depending on the species and their geographic location, with larvae feeding on the leaves of specific host plants. The life cycle of tagú moths involves complete metamorphosis, including egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Research into tagú moths often focuses on their ecological roles, such as being a food source for other animals or their impact on vegetation. Specific species within the tagú genus may have unique characteristics or distributions that are of interest to entomologists and ecologists. Information regarding specific species, their precise geographic ranges, and detailed ecological interactions can be found in specialized entomological literature.
