Miltochrista is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Palpi short and porrect (extending forward). Antennae with long cilia in male and bipectinated, and minute cilia in female. Tibia with short spurs. Forewings with vein 5 from just above lower angle of cell, vein 6 from upper angle or stalked with veins 7,8 and 9. Vein 10 from close to the angle of cell or before cell. Vein 11 from one-half to three-fourths length of cell and straight, or curved and running close along vein 12 or anastomosing with 12. Hindwings with vein 5 on a short stalk with vein 4, or from a point with it, or from above angle. Veins 6 and 7 stalked and vein 8 from near end of cell.[1]
They commonly live in grasslands, meadows, and open woodlands it varies by species but tend to be seen more in the summer months and are found in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa.[2] Their larva typically eat algae, mosses and lichens[3] while the adults have been sighted feeding on nectar.[4]
