Tarci

Tarci is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tortricidae. These moths are characterized by their small to medium size and typically triangular wings when at rest, a common feature of the Tortricidae family. The larvae of Tarci moths, like many other tortricids, are often considered pests. They can feed on a variety of plants, including agricultural crops, fruits, and ornamental trees. Depending on the specific species and its host plant, Tarci larvae may bore into stems, fruits, or leaves, causing damage that can impact plant health and yield.

The distribution of Tarci species varies, with some found in Europe, Asia, and other regions. Research into the specific life cycles and ecological roles of Tarci moths is ongoing, with particular attention paid to their agricultural impact. Identification of Tarci species often relies on detailed morphological examination, especially of their reproductive organs. Conservation efforts or management strategies are typically species-specific and depend on the economic or ecological significance of the particular Tarci moth in question.
