Lepidoptera Family Leucaniida Moths
In this family we have a number of rather small moths, with, generally, no markings on their wings, save, perhaps, a few dots or streaks.
Their larva feed principally on grasses and reeds, and change to the chrysalis state either in a cocoon among the food plants, or under the surface of the ground.
Several of these insects are very common, and most of them abound in fens and marshes.
