Description
The Neopseustidae is a small, often overlooked family of moths, distinguished by their remarkably intricate wing structure required for their unique sound production. Contrary to what one might expect, these moths are not silent twilight flutterers; they are equipped with a sophisticated sound-producing organ not commonly found in the Lepidoptera order. This feature is tuned not merely for the purposes of attraction during mating but may also play a role in echolocation, challenging the common belief that echolocation is reserved for bats and dolphins.
