Feasting on the leaves of conifers, the larval form of powdered grass-veneer is recognized largely by its distinctive green coloration, harmonizing with its food source for concealement. As it progresses to adulthood, it undergoes a remarkable transformation to exhibit a yellow hue with a touch of orange along its dorsal line, mirroring the warmth of amber resins exuded by its host trees. This species navigates through the twilight, utilizing keen sensory receptors to locate mates and lay the foundations for future generations to perpetuate the cyclical splendor of nature.

With a lifecycle intimately linked to aquatic environments, water Veneer begins its existence as a larva submerged in freshwater bodies, relying on aquatic plants for sustenance. As it matures, water Veneer exhibits a striking transformation, emerging with membranous wings to flit above the water's surface, now seeking nutrition from a variety of plant sources. Its behavior is a quintessential display of metamorphosis, showcasing nature's ingenuity in adapting to varied ecological niches.

The wingspan is 1.7 - 2.5 cm . The forewings are orange, brown or grayish brown. The hindwings are similar but lighter. The larvae have a yellowish, pale green or dark greenish body and a yellowish-brown head and reach a length of about 2.5 cm .

The wingspan is about 2 cm .

Achyra bifidalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. It is found from the southern United States (from Arizona to Florida) south through Mexico to Brazil and Argentina. It is also found in the West Indies. The wingspan is 20–24 millimetres (0.79–0.94 in). The larvae feed on Gossypium and Portulaca species. They reach a length of 24–27 mm.

Aetholix flavibasalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is found in Australia (Queensland), Thailand, western India, Sri Lanka, the Andamans and on Borneo. The forewings are brown with a pale spot. There is a white band across the hindwings. Both wings have a cream and orange thorax and basal area. The larvae feed on Garcinia mangostana and Eugenia species.

The marsh grass moth (Agriphila inquinatella) is a butterfly from the grass moth family (Crambidae). The wingspan of the butterfly is between 23 and 29 millimeters. The butterfly is found in Europe, the area around the Caucasus, Jordan and Turkestan. The species hibernates as a caterpillar.

With a predisposition for temperate habitats, common grass-veneer exhibits a distinct life cycle, metamorphosing from a ground-dwelling larva that favors grass roots, to an adult with a penchant for flight during the twilight hours. This species is characterized by its marked adaptability to agricultural landscapes, subtly influencing local ecosystems through its larval feeding habits.
