Parectropis

Parectropis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). A small Old World genus, it contains only a good dozen species altogether, though new ones are still being discovered. Only one species (P. similaria) is found in Europe; most others live in Asia though some occur in Africa.[1]

gollark: The most interesting quantum thingy™ I'm aware of is Grover's algorithm, which seems to just magically be able to speed up some search-ish/brute-force things using magic.
gollark: Wait, so if I find a big prime number and use the `factor` command on it, I can actually say that my computer is outperforming leading-edge quantum computers at that task?
gollark: One day quantum computers might even be able to do useful things faster than my phone!
gollark: Still, it's a thing. Definitely a thing.
gollark: We've reached a point where quantum computers can do *some stuff* faster than classical ones, in that while it would be theoretically possible to emulate... Sycamore, or whatever it was, the one Google or someone had for "quantum supremacy" or something... on a supercomputer, it would take several days to do what it did in two minutes.
