Pyralidae Family of moths

The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.

Alpheus Spring Packard American entomologist, palaeontologist

Alpheus Spring Packard, Jr., LL.D. was an American entomologist and palaeontologist. He described over 500 new animal species – especially butterflies and moths – and was one of the founders of The American Naturalist.

The larvae feed on Alnus species, including Alnus serrulata and Alnus rugosa . Young larvae feed on wintered leaf-buds of their host plant. Later, it constructs a silken tube with, from which shelter it feeds. Pupation takes place in a pupal chamber which is constructed at the end of the tube. Up to nine larvae may occur in a single nest, but each in its own tube. [2]
