Mocis
''Mocis'' is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823. Lepidopterist David Wagner et al. state about the behaviour of ''Mocis'' larvae: "Unlike most catocaline larvae, ''Mocis'' caterpillars do not wriggle violently when accosted, but rather simply drop to the ground--a habit shared by many grass feeders--where their coloration blends in with dead, withered grass blades."
