Moths of Zihuatanejo
ORDER LEPIDOPTERA
Celiptera Moths
Genus Celiptera
Celiptera is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. These moths often have strongly patterned wings with colors ranging from dark browns and grays to lighter hues, which are often designed to provide camouflage when the moth is at rest. They often hide during the day in sheltered areas, such as under tree bark, in dense foliage, or within cracks in rocks, where their cryptic markings provide camouflage.
