Description
The Choreutidae family, also known as metalmark moths, harbors a fascinating trait that contradicts the somber reputation often associated with moths. These creatures are known for their iridescent wings, which glimmer like polished metal under sunlight. Contrary to popular misconceptions, not all moths are drab or pests; metalmark moths play crucial roles in pollination.
