Snouted Tiger Moths

They are most easily recognized by the typical wing shape, the usually bright colours and the large porrected palpae (snout).

The Boletobiinae are a subfamily of moths in the Erebidae family.  The tribe-level groupings of genera within this expanded Boletobiinae subfamily are a topic of continued study.

Fruit Piercing Moths

Both sexes of adults can pierce ripening fruit, penetrate the skin and pulp of fruit with their modified mouthparts (proboscis) which is armed with saw teeth to withdraw juice.

Underwing Moths and Allies

Many of the species in the subfamily are large. Some of these large moths, such as those in Catocala and related genera, have brightly colored hindwings used as distraction displays. 

Litter Moths

The members of the subfamily are called litter moths because the caterpillars of most members feed on dead leaves of plants, though others feed on living leaves.

Snout Moths

They are characterized by their triangular shape and long palps resembling a snout.

Tussock Moths

They usually have muted colours (browns and greys), although some are white, and tend to be very hairy.

Other Erebid Moths
