Proustia

Proustia is a genus of moths belonging to the family Incurvariidae. These small moths are typically characterized by their metallic or iridescent wings and are found in various parts of the world. Specific species within the genus exhibit different wing patterns and colorations, often varying geographically.

The larvae of Proustia moths are leaf miners, feeding internally on the tissues of leaves. They create characteristic tunnels or blotches in the leaves as they feed and grow. Host plants vary depending on the specific Proustia species.

Further research is ongoing to fully understand the taxonomy, life cycle, and distribution of all Proustia species.
