Tarig

Tarig is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. These moths are typically found in the Afrotropical region, which includes sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. The larvae of Tarig moths are herbivorous, feeding on various plant species within their native habitats. Adult moths are generally nocturnal or crepuscular, meaning they are active at night or during twilight hours.

The genus Tarig was established by Achille Guenée in 1857. Species within this genus exhibit a range of wing patterns and coloration, often featuring cryptic markings that aid in camouflage against their surroundings. Detailed taxonomic studies are ongoing to fully understand the diversity and phylogenetic relationships within the Tarig genus. Research in this area contributes to broader ecological studies and insect biodiversity assessments.
