Moth Group of mostly-nocturnal insects in the order Lepidoptera

Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths, and there are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species.

Bedelliidae family of insects

Bedelliidae is a small family of small, narrow-winged moths; most authorities recognize just a single genus, Bedellia, previously included in the family Lyonetiidae. The family is still included in the Lyonetiidae as the subfamily Bedelliinae by some authors.

Johann Müller-Rutz was a Swiss entomologist who specialised in the study of microlepidoptera, small moths. He trained as an embroidery artist and worked in first in Müllheim (1885-1888) and then in St. Gallen where he was teacher of embroidery designs at the Industrial and Trade Centre St. Gallen.
