basadis

Basadis is a genus of moths belonging to the family Geometridae. These moths are characterized by their often cryptic coloration, which helps them blend in with their surroundings, typically bark or foliage. The larvae, or caterpillars, of Basadis moths are herbivorous and feed on a variety of plants, depending on the specific species. The exact distribution and host plant preferences vary among the different species within the genus.

While not as widely known as some other moth families, Geometridae, and by extension Basadis, play a role in their ecosystems as herbivores and as a food source for other animals. Research on Basadis species may focus on their taxonomy, life cycles, or ecological interactions. Information regarding specific species within the Basadis genus can be found in entomological literature and databases. Due to their often small size and camouflage, they can be challenging to find and identify.
