Description
Members of the Cosmopterigidae family, a group of intriguing small moths, challenge common perceptions with their sophisticated behaviors and surprising abilities. Contrary to what one might expect from moths, many species within this family are day-flying and exhibit a metallic sheen, more akin to butterflies. These moths demonstrate an exceptional level of specialization as their larvae are known to be leaf miners, stem borers, and even predators of other insects' eggs in early developmental stages.
