Tetraëdra

Tetraëdra is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Frederic Moore in 1877. Species within this genus are typically found in Southeast Asia. They are characterized by their wing patterns and coloration, which can vary between species but often feature earthy tones and intricate markings. The larval stage of Tetraëdra moths feeds on various plant species, and their specific host plants can be important for identifying and studying them. The adults are generally nocturnal and are attracted to light sources. Research on Tetraëdra is ongoing, with entomologists working to describe new species, understand their ecological roles, and map their distribution. The taxonomy of the genus is subject to revision as new genetic and morphological data become available. Further study is needed to fully understand the life cycles and behaviors of many Tetraëdra species.
