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.

Crambidae Family of insects

The Crambidae are the grass moth family of lepidopterans. They are variable in appearance, the nominal subfamily Crambinae taking up closely folded postures on grass stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly coloured and patterned insects which rest in wing-spread attitudes.

Alexander Barrett Klots was an American entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera.

The length of the forewings is 12–13 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is light brownish-yellow, darker between the silvery-white stripe and the costa, and dorsad of this stripe. The hindwings are pale brownish-white, slightly darker apically and terminally. [3]
