Everything about Coleophoridae totally explained
Coleophoridae is a family of
moths with about 1050 species, the vast majority (about 1000) belonging to the huge genus
Coleophora (numerous splits have been proposed for this immense genus but have not been widely accepted - most of the genus names listed right refer to these proposed new genera). The family is represented on all continents but the majority are found in temperate areas of the
Northern Hemisphere.
These are generally very small, slender moths, with the margins of the wings often split into many fronds giving a "fringed" effect. The tiny
larvae initially feed internally on the
leaves,
flowers or
seeds of their host plants. When they emerge to feed externally they usually construct a protective silken case, discarding and building new ones as they grow. For this reason the group is often collectively known as
case moths or
case-bearers.
