bertomata

Bertomata is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The moths are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1862.

The larvae of bertomata moths are generally leaf-eaters, feeding on a variety of host plants. Adults are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light. Information on the specific life cycle and behaviors of most bertomata species is limited due to their often elusive nature and the challenges of studying tropical insects.

The genus bertomata contains several species, though detailed taxonomic and distributional data can vary. Like many moth species, their ecological role often involves being a food source for other animals and contributing to pollination as adults. Further research is ongoing to better understand the diversity and ecological significance of bertomata moths within their respective ecosystems.
