Spirama is a genus of moths in the Erebidae family.
Defensive display
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Some of the species, such as S. helicina, S. indenta, S. recessa, S. remota and S. sumbana, have a pattern on the wings that looks like the frontal view of the face of a snake with slightly opened mouth. This pattern is more clearly discernible in females. It may intimidate potential predators and dissuade them from attacking.[2]
