Description
Despite the vivid warning colors that adorn members of the genus Tyria, these moths are prime examples of Batesian mimicry, where harmless species evolve to mimic the warning signs of a harmful species to deter predators. Notably, Tyria caterpillars are considered a pest due to their preference for feeding on the leaves of economically important crops.
