==Description==<br />

Moths of the genus ''Anomis'' are characterized by their medium size and distinctive wing patterns, which often include a combination of brown, yellow, and orange hues. The forewings are typically more elongated compared to the hindwings, and they often display intricate patterns that serve as camouflage against predators.<br />
<br />
The larvae of ''Anomis'' species are known to be polyphagous, feeding on a variety of host plants. This adaptability allows them to thrive in diverse environments, from forests to agricultural areas.<br />
<br />
==Distribution==<br />
The ''Anomis'' genus has a wide distribution, with species found in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. They are particularly prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates, where the warm temperatures and abundant vegetation provide ideal conditions for their development.<br />
<br />
==Ecology==<br />
''Anomis'' moths play a role in their ecosystems as both pollinators and as a food source for other animals. The larvae, in particular, are important herbivores that can influence the composition of plant communities. However, some species are also considered pests due to their feeding habits on economically important crops.<br />
<br />
==Species==<br />
The genus ''Anomis'' includes several species, some of which are:<br />
* ''[[Anomis flava]]'' – Commonly known as the "cotton looper," this species is a well-known pest of cotton and other crops.<br />
* ''Anomis sabulifera''<br />
* ''Anomis texana''<br />
