Description

Members of the genus Nephelodes are intriguing nocturnal creatures that share a family with the well-studied armyworms. Although often mistaken for typical moths due to their relatively dull coloration and nocturnal habits, Nephelodes's species play a significant role in the ecosystem by acting as pollinators and as a food source for various predators. This genus highlights the ecological significance and diverse functions moths undertake, far beyond the common misconception of them as mere pests.
