Sedge moths
Scientific name: Glyphipterigidae
Description
Unlike the staid reputation of many of their cousins in the moth and butterfly realm, members of the Glyphipterigidae family possess metallic scales that sparkle under sunlight, bringing a surprising glamour to their otherwise overlooked appearances. Intriguingly, while most moths are known for being nocturnal, several species within this family buck the trend by being active during the day, a rare trait that challenges our common perceptions of moth behavior.
