Rajendra (moth)

Rajendra is a genus of moths belonging to the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was established by Moore in 1859. These moths are generally found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They are characterized by their relatively large size and robust build, typical of Lasiocampidae moths. Identification to species level often requires careful examination of wing patterns, male genitalia, and other morphological features. The larvae of Rajendra species, like other members of their family, are often hairy and can sometimes be agricultural pests, depending on their specific host plants. The life cycle includes egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages, with the larval stage being the feeding and growing phase. Specific details about the biology, host plants, and distribution of individual Rajendra species vary.
