Calyptra
Calyptra (from καλύπτρα (kalúptra) "veil") is a scientific term used in botany. It describes a feature in plant morphology.
Bryophytes
In bryophytes, the calyptra (plural calyptrae) is an enlarged archegonial venter that protects the capsule containing the embryonic sporophyte. The calyptra is usually lost before the spores are released from the capsule. The shape of the calyptra can be used for identification purposes.
Flowering plants
In flowering plants, the calyptra is a covering tissue for stamens and carpels. The name is also used for the capping tissue of roots, the root cap.

Calyptra (moth)
The genus Calyptra is a group of moths in subfamily Calpinae of the family Erebidae. They are a member of the Calpini tribe, whose precise circumscription is uncertain but which includes a number of other fruit-piercing or eye-frequenting genera currently classified in Calpinae.
The common name of many of these species, vampire moth, refers to the habit that they have of drinking blood from vertebrates. According to a recent study, some of them (C. thalictri) are even capable of drinking human blood through skin. However, the moths are not thought to cause any threat to humans.
Some species of this genus have been classified with genus name Calpe, and they include more than one blood-sucker.
Habitat
These insects have been changing their habitat in recent years. The species Calyptra thalictri was originally native to Malaysia, the Urals and Southern Europe, but has been turning up in northern Europe. In 2000, they were observed in Finland and in 2008 they were seen further west in Sweden. The Swedish observation was in Skutskär north of the capital Stockholm whilst the sightings in Finland have been more numerous. It is found in southern Finland, in particular in the south east.
