Description

Members of the Elachistidae family, often unnoticed due to their minuscule size, paint a fascinating picture of ecological adaptability. These moths, with larvae primarily known as leaf miners, exhibit a remarkable tactic: they burrow within leaves, creating visible trails as they consume the plant from the inside. This camouflage shields them not only from predators' eyes but also from harsh environmental conditions.
