Description

Eriocraniidae, among the most primitive living lepidopterans, emerge in early spring, often before leaves are fully developed on trees. This timing is no accident; it aligns with their unique reproductive habits and lifecycle. While many believe all moths to be nocturnal, Eriocraniidae species defy this stereotype by being actively diurnal.
