Hypercompe
''Hypercompe'' is a genus of tiger moths in the Erebidae family. Over 80 species in the genus are found throughout the Americas. The moths are typically large with white forewings heavily spotted with black and with brightly colored abdomens which are exposed when the moths are threatened. This is a form of aposematism. The moths produce copious amounts of foul-smelling defensive chemicals, which they ooze from special points of weakness on their thoraces, to discourage potential predators. ==Taxonomy== Several species were formerly separated in ''Ecpantheria'', which is now regarded as a junior synonym.
