Çekyaya

Çekyaya is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tortricidae. This genus is primarily found in the Old World, with species distributed across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. The larvae of Çekyaya moths are known to feed on a variety of plants, often causing damage to agricultural crops and natural vegetation.

The adult moths are typically small to medium-sized, with wingspans varying between species. Their wing coloration and patterns can differ significantly, often serving as a means of camouflage against their environment. Many species are nocturnal, becoming active at dusk and through the night.

Research into Çekyaya species often focuses on their ecological roles, their impact on agriculture as pests, and their reproductive behaviors. The identification and classification of Çekyaya moths rely on detailed examination of their morphological characteristics, particularly the genitalia, which are distinctive within the Tortricidae family. Conservation status varies among species, with some being more common while others may be rare or facing localized threats due to habitat changes or pesticide use.
