Prosomphax
Prosomphax is a very small genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). As of 2005, only four species had been described; all are found in the southern half of Africa. This little-studied genus belongs to the emerald moth subfamily (Geometrinae), but beyond that its relationships are still rather obscure.[1]

gollark: They aren't, they're specific to (some?) food.
gollark: I would prefer "some amount of free money" to "some amount of free food". The former provides me more choice about exactly what I get.
gollark: I totally can.
gollark: There are food banks. And I said earlier I support some UBI-type thing which would allow you to buy food with said money.
gollark: Then nobody else can have any. Muahahaha.
