Hyalurga is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The Hyalurga chthonophyle is a vibrant and ecologically fascinating tiger moth found in the tropical Americas. Its bright, contrasting colors serve as an aposematic warning to predators, signaling potential toxicity or unpalatability. Prefers forests, woodlands, and areas with rich vegetation that support its host plants and provide nectar sources for adults.
