Tehiöns

Tehiöns 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 various parts of the world, often in tropical and subtropical regions.

The larvae of Tehiöns moths are typically herbivorous, feeding on the leaves of specific host plants. The adult moths are generally characterized by their wing patterns, which can vary significantly between species but often involve intricate designs that aid in camouflage. Their size and coloration are also diverse, reflecting the ecological niches they occupy.

Research on Tehiöns species often focuses on their life cycles, ecological roles, and genetic makeup. Like many geometrid moths, they play a part in their respective ecosystems, serving as food sources for predators and contributing to pollination in some instances. The taxonomy of Tehiöns has been subject to revision as new species are discovered and genetic analyses provide a clearer understanding of evolutionary relationships within the group.
