Antennae of male bipectinate (comb like on both sides) for two-thirds of their length. Hind tibia with one spur pair in both sexes. Forewings with veins 3 and 4 from angle of cell and vein 6 from upper angle. Veins 7, 8, 9 and 10 stalked and vein 11 anastomosing (fusing) with vein 12. Hindwings with frenulum absent. The outer margin rounded. Veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 stalked. Species * ''Eucrostes astigmatica'' L. B.

Eucrostes Indigenata
''Eucrostes indigenata'' is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Charles Joseph Devillers in 1789. It is found in the Mediterranean region, inland up to North Macedonia and Hungary. Subspecies ''lanjeronica'' is found in southern Spain and Algeria. The wingspan is 14–16 mm for males and 18–20 mm for females. There are two to three generations per year. Adults are on wing from April to October. On Malta, adults have been recorded up to the beginning of November. The larvae feed on ''Euphorbia ''Euphorbia'' is a very large and diverse genus of flowering plants, commonly called spurge, in the family Euphorbiaceae.

Geometrinae
Geometrinae is the nominate subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is strongly split, containing a considerable number of tribes of which most are presently very small or monotypic. These small moths are often a light bluish green, leading to the common name of emerald moths, though a few species called thus are also found in the tribe Campaeini of the Ennominae. In 2018, a phylogeny and classification based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis was published in the ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'' in which 13 tribes were accepted. There are about 2,300 described species, mostly from the tropics.

Arthropoda
Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and Arthropod cuticle, cuticle made of chitin, often Mineralization (biology), mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages. Arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and their body possesses an exoskeleton, external skeleton. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. The haemocoel, an arthropod's internal cavity, through which its haemolymph – analogue of blood – circulates, accommodates its interior Organ (anatomy), organs; it has an open circulatory system. Like their exteriors, the internal or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.
