Speiredonia
''Speiredonia'' is a genus of moths in the Erebidae family. ==Defensive display==
Some of the species, such as ''Speiredonia spectans'', ''S. cthulhui'', ''S. hogenesi'', ''S. martabanica'', ''S. sandokana'', ''S. alix''. ''S. itynx'', ''S. levis'' and ''S. celebensis'' have a pattern on the wings that while the moth is at rest looks like the 3-dimensional face of a lurking animal with eyes and nostrils. This pattern is more clearly discernible in females〔(An Overview Of The Genus Speiredonia With Description Of Seven New Species )〕 and may cause an attacking predator to hesitate or perhaps withdraw.〔John L. Capinera, ''Encyclopedia of Entomology,'' Volume 4, p. 1174〕
